Are you talking about Linux?
In Linux, if you hit Ctrl-Alt-F2, you will get a terminal screen. You will not be able to launch xterms or any other X app. from there.
Here is what you want to do: Open up an xterm on your local machine (I'll call it myhost). Type "xhost +remotehost". Login to machine remotehost. Type: "export DISPLAY=myhost:0". Now, any X apps. you launch will be running on remotehost, and displayed on myhost. If you use ssh to connect between the two machines, then you will not need to worry about typing the xhost+ or DISPLAY= commands, as ssh takes care fo this for you.
