Setting DISPLAY Variable
NOTE!
By default, when you ssh into a machine, your X display should be set up properly w/o any tinkering on your end. So unless you use "su", you don't need to set your DISPLAY variable.
Try the following:
On the remote machine type setenv DISPLAY
hostname:0.0
hostname is the name of the machine on which you are
working. It can be obtained by typing hostname at the prompt.
On the local machine type xhost remote hostname to
authorize the remote machine to connect to the local X server
remote hostname refers to the name of the remote machine,
eg. newton
