What am I missing?
You have some edits to make to config files on the SuSE machine. Remote X isn't permitted by default (because of security implications). I basically followed this:
This document is rather long and obsolete.
True, much of it is noise. The actual process was a few quick edits, one in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess, one in /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs and one in /etc/X11/fs/config.
It may be enough to set DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, run SuSEconfig, and restart kdm. Do all three steps on the server, YaST2 can be used for the first two steps.
Didn't know about that route. That would be even easier... -- Jarod C. Wilson, RHCE jcw@wilsonet.com
