[opensuse] X11 forwarding on 11.4


I have two main boxes running, 11.2 which I replaced and relegated to
server status for email and http, and 11.4 as main box.

I ssh into the 11.2 box to read mail and administer ...

I can access 11.2 from 11.4 and my wife's win7 (cygwin w/X and/or putty)
box via ssh -X w/o any problem. Can run X apps w/o a problem.

But with identical /etc/ssh/ssh{d}_config files I cannot forward X from
11.4 to the win7 box. I get:
ssh -X user@xxxxxxxxxxxx xterm
Password:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set

adding -vv to the ssh request provides:

debug2: input_userauth_info_req
debug2: input_userauth_info_req: num_prompts 0
debug1: Authentication succeeded (keyboard-interactive).
Authenticated to 192.168.1.10 ([192.168.1.10]:22).

debug2: channel 0: rcvd ext data 64
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:

amoung other output which seem irrelevant

There is no problem with text access, just X.

Where do I go from here?
