Use the '-X' switch.

client$ ssh -X $server
server$ echo $DISPLAY
server:10.0

You should not (have|be able) to 'export' a differend DISPLAY.
The server runs xauth to setup things for forwarding.

  server$ grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config 
  X11Forwarding yes
  X11DisplayOffset 10
  server$ which xauth
  /usr/bin/X11/xauth

cheers.
