I presume when you say "whenever I type display at the client's side" you
actually mean:
whenever I type the "display" command to the shell on the server
(which is in a window on the client)
That said, most likely your $DISPLAY variable is wrong in the
server-side shell. Type:
echo $DISPLAY
on the server shell to see.
Did you use the "ssh -Y" or (older) "ssh -X" option when you connected?
It sounds like something at the server is trashing your $DISPLAY
variable.
