i'm running SuSE on 50+ production systems, it's basicly the only linux 
distro i'll use.  though i use debian in my compute cluster.

what values do you see when you 'grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config'? there 
should be 3 options, mine are below. it's most likely that X11Forwarding 
is set to no, which i believe is the default. if it is then uncomment 
the line, set it to yes and run 'rcsshd reload'.

grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
	X11Forwarding yes
	#X11DisplayOffset 10
	#X11UseLocalhost yes

i don't have anything with this video card, sorry. but i can say that 
sax2 has always worked for me. try running online_update again to get 
the latest patches. is this a dual head video card? anything in the logs?
