I tried export DISPLAY=servername:10.0 and tried to launch xlogo and all
I get is Error: Can't open Display: servername. When I try to launch
konqueror I get cannot connect to X server servername:10.0
Thoughts?

Ok, I am trying to manually set the display using setenv DISPLAY and I
get a command not found error. Any suggestions?

Try this command:
echo $DISPLAY
This will tell you what display the X programs are connecting to. This
should be an SSH tunnel, something like:
:10.0
A good program to test if everything is working is "xlogo", very simple
but connects over the X11 protocol.
Also, I'd stress that "xhost +" is ONLY for debugging. SSH should set
up the permissions so that this isn't necessary, it's a significant
security issue to leave that open regularly.
