I really don't understand what you are trying to do. If you have
X-Windows running on your laptop, as long as X is installed on the
remote machine, it doesn't matter if that machine is in terminal
mode or Graphics mode... it can still throw up valid X-Windows on
your machine remotely. If you don't have X installed and running
on your laptop, it doesn't matter anyway.
IOW, you shouldn't NEED to startx on the remote machine. Even a
dumb client would need X running LOCALLY. Can you please explain
it in detail what you are trying to achieve?

Subject: Starting an Xsession on remote computer
I recently bought a laptop and am trying to use it to remotely manage
my desktop computer. I login via a telnet session and set the DISPLAY
variable (usually something like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0). Unfortunately
when I try to start an X session from here (startx) it doesn't work.
What more do I need to do?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
