Code:
[root@console-0124 ~]# ps -ef|grep X

What do you mean by logging in the 2 boxes: Local? (which means for me at the console...) OR Remote (in which case how...).
From the little you show it could be IP issue, or more likely ssh since one has some ssh stuff and not the other (But Im half blind...) if so is X forwarding enabled? (You connect using ssh -X...)
