ouch, I know what was happening...you helped!
ssh servera -> ssh -X serverb ->xeyes (no DISPLAY) ssh -X servera -> ssh -X serverb -> xeyes (Works!)
been to tired fixing broken installs to fc17. I got 2 system upgraded using dvd upgrade, got 2 system screwed up and need to fresh install, one just died at the end on "script error occured installing emacs package". Been the worse upgrade season in 7 years of fedora! Not to get on anyone's bad side, fedora has been great, but the change rate is a bit over the top if it bust installs.

Hi,
what is it I need besides the the sshd_config to allow forwarding to get x forwarding to work. I did a minimum install and ssh doesnt setup the DISPLAY variable. When I run xeyes I get:
Error: Can't open display:
sshd_conf:
#AllowAgentForwarding yes #AllowTcpForwarding yes #GatewayPorts no #X11Forwarding no X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes #PrintMotd yes #PrintLastLog yes #TCPKeepAlive yes #UseLogin no
Any suggestions would be great, I checked that xorg auth was installed, but I think is something x related missing....thanks much,
The system SSHing to the other has to enable display forwarding:
ssh -X [remote host]
