Hello
I've two X server: a client and a server. How I can contact from the
client
the server (I read some articles but did not find a solution)? I can
successfully start X applications over SSH but I can't contact the
xdm. What
do I wrong?
What do you mean?  If you're starting the X app on the remote system
using X-forwarding with ssh, you're running a remote application using
the remote system's CPU and memory.  If you're trying to do something
like open a whole X session on the remote system like a remote
terminal, something like a "remote desktop", you'd probably need to
look into using something like VNC over SSH or something using XNest
may work.
Now I can start remote applications (like OpenOffice) remote without 
problems.
My goals are to use a "remote desktop" (like you describe). Is there a VNC
server for X?
There are several for different puposes and tastes. You will find 
them by
	# cd /usr/ports/
	# make search key=vnc

Good Luck,
Uli.
