Yes, yast in text mode is working. And yast2 as user on the local maschine (after su ���pwd request)works also. I am using a ���standard��� installation. Windows 7 + Exceed as X-Server, All other graphical apps are working ( e.g xterm, firefox, pgadmin3 ..) And I have just cross-checked. With SLES11 ssh -X yast2 is working.
