I think it is enabled by default, isn't it?

xela@ubu:~$ grep -i x1 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
xela@ubu:~$

But when I ssh into it I get:

xela@ubu:~$ xterm &

xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
[1]+ Exit 1 xterm

You need xauth installed on the server, IIRC.
