remote x forwarding through ssh

Hi list,
I'm trying to use ssh to forward X from a local FreeBSD server to my
ubuntu machine.
I'm unable to get X forwarded. (ssh is working)
I set these options:
ubuntu:
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Host *
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardAgent yes
FreeBSD
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
UseLogin no
I didn't set the $DISPLAY variable, on purpose.
After I log into the server and start xterm (for instance) I get this
message: DISPLAY is not set.
SSH should do that for me but I guess it doesn't.
I don't know why.
I logged into FreeBSD with these commands:
ssh -v freebsd
ssh -v -X freebsd
ssh -v -X -A freebsd
What could be the cause? Client or server?
Cheers, Warren
