Howto export/import X

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings all;

I have an older FC2 install here, with a somewhat out of date ssh 
installed.

I have an install of bdi-4.30, debian sarge based, with a slighlty 
newer ssh on it, but the X is XFree86, 4.3-something.

How can I get these two boxes to accept each other X so I can sit here 
in comfort and run that box in the shop, which is at an ambient temp 
of maybe 20F?

This ssh upchucks on the -Y option, and the other one apparently 
doesn't like the -X option, or this X is refuseing the connection, the 
actual error message I see from the other end.  From here, logged in 
with the -X option, an attempt to run an x based app exits quickly 
with this error:

Is there any help for this?
