The server you trying to connect to do a
xhost +

Then from the client once you telnet into the server.

do a DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0;export DISPLAY

If you connect to the server thru a series of first connecting to other servers you may have problems trying to see your display. Those servers that you connected to you should also do xhost + but it also may not work or because sometimes if you have a firewall that allow the usual ssh, telnet ftp http https but block everything else including xdm
