Does the remote machine have X forwarding turned on?

Hi,
I used "ssh -Y -l username remote_IP" to connect to a remote machine.
After login to remote machine, I tried to run "xterm&" and "fluent&".
But both gave me an error saying that "Can't open display" (please
see attached JPEG and LOG files). Why? Am I missing something?
Please help me to solve the problem. Thank you very much.
