But you said this didn't work:
ssh -X -Y -p xxxx root@remote_host yast2 & yast2 --qt &
Right?
yes, but yast --gtk & does
Also in this: ssh -X -Y -p xxxx remote_host sudo yast2
You need to show 'DISPLAY' after your sudo, like: sudo bash -c 'echo "DISP=$DISPLAY"; yast2'
I'm betting you have some improved su/sudo or config files with them that improve your security by wiping 'DISPLAY'
would make sense if
yast2 --ncurses
yast2 --gtk
didn't work.
