I've run through the Yast security settings - the only thing that seems vaguely related is "Allow Graphical Login", although I doubt that's involved I ticked it and restarted X. Still no go. I'm not running a firewall, I unfortunately need to run an app as root but I can't even get xeyes to run as myself, so small steps first. I'm suspecting it's a security issue, as opposed to any sort of incompatibility.
Indeed. X in SuSE 9.1 by default does not accept TCP network connections. If you are doing this over the internet, consider using "ssh -X" instead If you are doing this on a secure LAN and you *really* want to do it unencrypted, then edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and set DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN to "yes" and run SuSEconfig and restart X
