Perhaps an xorg.conf file hasn't yet been created :).

Try running:

X -configure

as root

You do not startx over ssh. Explain what you're trying to do, exactly.

If you need to run a full-on desktop environment over ssh, google for 'vnc over ssh'. IIRC, there are a couple different implementations.

A better approach would be to simply launch the specific GUI app you need.

e.g.
Code:
$ ssh -Y joe@host.local
Password:

[joe@host.local ~]$ xclock
Which would, of course, fire up xlock (assuming you have X11 forwarding set up properly on the server side). Replace xclock with the GUI application you need to run.
