First, depending on your setup, you may not need the X server running on
the nodes.  Hint, if they are not connected to a monitor, you don't need
the X server.

If you are logged in via rsh or ssh, make sure your DISPLAY variable is
set and you are forwarding your X connection properly.  I usually type
'xterm' to see.

Othewise, its standard X debugging....  Look at logfiles, make sure
server is running, make sure forwarding is possible, etc.
