You need to edit two files for X11 forwarding:

On the remote  machine (the  one you are ssh'ing to):
/etc/ssh/sshd_config

And on the client machine (the one you are sitting at..)
/etc/ssh/ssh_config

Each of these files gives you a basic configuration to work with, but 
you do need to switch on X11 forwarding in both configs...
