Do you really need "X server" specifically, or just a way to remotely
access a graphical login that provides X functionality as if you were
local.

The standard remote X process is sort of clumsy and filled with little
gotchas IMHO.  A couple other choices are VNC and FreeNX.  OpenSUSE
comes with clients and servers for both.   (Windows clients also
readily available.)

I've been using FreeNX for the last couple SUSE releases.  FreeNX has
actually been a bit of a pain to keep running too, so if I were
starting from scratch I would consider VNC.
