"Gtk-WARNING cannot open display" from ssh

I am trying to do something on another computer through ssh and I keep getting this:
Code:
"(gedit:6169): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:"

I have googled the interweb and this forum and found many posts but nothing seems to work. I have freshly installed Ubuntu 8.10 with updates on the machine and I have a KVM connected but, the screen just flashes on and off, mostly off, so it is unusable that way (Nvidia GTX 260, Asus M4A79T Deluxe). I have had it running perfectly under Ubuntu 9.04 without the blinking but am trying to do folding@home gpu2 under wine and was unsuccessful with 9.04 therefore I'm going to try 8.10, as the instructions use, but am doing it from my Mac Pro with ssh and getting that warning.

It does work on another computer (I get past this point) though there are other issues with that one.
