You should enable the xdmcp portion in the gdm.conf configuration file:

[xdmcp]
Enable=true
HonorIndirect=true
MaxPending=4
MaxPendingIndirect=4
MaxSessions=40
MaxWait=30
MaxWaitIndirect=30
Port=177

(example)

Then you should be able to connect to the remote display with

X :1 -query remote_server_ip

So long,
