Default fc17 minimum install, no X11 forwarding

Hi,

what is it I need besides the the sshd_config to allow forwarding to
get x forwarding to work. I did a minimum install and ssh doesnt setup
the DISPLAY variable. When I run xeyes I get:

Error: Can't open display:

sshd_conf:

#AllowAgentForwarding yes
#AllowTcpForwarding yes
#GatewayPorts no
#X11Forwarding no
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
#PrintMotd yes
#PrintLastLog yes
#TCPKeepAlive yes
#UseLogin no

Any suggestions would be great, I checked that xorg auth was
installed, but I think is something x related missing....thanks much,

g.

The system SSHing to the other has to enable display forwarding:

ssh -X [remote host]

ouch, I know what was happening...you helped!

ssh servera -> ssh -X serverb ->xeyes (no DISPLAY)
ssh -X servera -> ssh -X serverb -> xeyes (Works!)

been to tired fixing broken installs to fc17. I got 2 system upgraded
using dvd upgrade, got 2 system screwed up and need to fresh install,
one just died at the end on "script error occured installing emacs
package". Been the worse upgrade season in 7 years of fedora! Not to
get on anyone's bad side, fedora has been great, but the change rate
is a bit over the top if it bust installs.
