if your asking how to set X to listen to TCP connections you don't need
to if your tunneling X over SSH (ssh -X). If your asking how to enable
X11 forwarding in ssh that is done in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (after you
change it you must restart ssh /etc/init.d/ssh restart). If your still
wanting to turn on X-over-TCP then grep -nri nolisten /etc/X11/* and
change the files that are returned & restart X & any display managers
that you use(xdm/gdm/kdm/etc)
