Subject:	SL6.1 X server newbie help

I just installed SL6.1 "Basic Server" - figured I'd yum install the other stuff I wanted later.  I typically connect via ssh to this box, I do not want or need a desktop / window manager but I would like to ssh -X and be able to run programs that generate X output.  So I installed the X server (xorg-x11-server-Xorg.x86_64 and dependencies) - but it looks like I need to start the X server somehow OR install something else OR both.

Please can someone tell me what I need to do next?  It would be nice to have the X server start on boot.

Many thanks,

Jim.

P.S.  When I did my previous SL install, I included the X server at install-time, and everything worked fine - i.e. not a X client-side issue.
