well.... on my debian unstable home-machine, it was that easy.
two things:
a)i did not have to add or uncomment the line, but i had to change a
"no" to "yes" in that line.
if u just add the line w/ yes on beginning of the config file, this
probably won't work, if there is a line w/ "no" later.
b) has your System a base X system installed? you need @ least xlib and
base utilities.
perhaps u can install xterm, and then the dependencies will
automatically install the required packages.
c) if your network is secure (blah...), try the following:
1) on yr X machine, type "xhost +" in some terminal
2) on yr headless machine, type "export DISPLAY=192.168.1.2:0",
where 192.168.1.2 is yr X machines ip address
3) "xterm" or something.
yes, i know, this won't answer yr question, but anyway, i hpe it'll help
you.
