X was working fine from several clients to several servers. Then it quit, for no (obvious to me) reason.
Details here, let me know if you need more info.

How do I start X on the server from a remote machine (via ssh, of course) so that I can use graphical apps ?
When I google this problem, there is some talk about the DISPLAY variable not being set. What should it be set to ? How should it be set ?
Thanks

sshd sets it when you do an ssh -X/-Y. If it isn't getting set then either ssh isn't seeing suitable environment variables (eg ssh'ing into a box and forgetting which box you were on when you do the ssh -Y), or it can be blocked in the sshd config.

You don't, because that's not how X works. You run X on the *local* machine where the display, mouse and keyboard are connected. The graphical apps running on the remote machine communicate with the X server running on the local machine over the network.
