Great; on your machine, you need to do
xhost +machine.name.domain
(or just xhost +) from an xterm;
on the remote machine, do something like
xv -display your.machine.domain:0.0
which will redirect it, or on the same machine do
setenv DISPLAY your.machine.domain:0.0 (csh variants)
export DISPLAY=your.machine.domain:0.0 (other shells eg bash)
which will do this redirection permanently.
