Much easier than trying LinuxCNC, use xclock. It will work, or not, hopefully give an error message, and only takes a second or so. If xclock brings up your analog clock dial, then most of the X support is going to work. The one other thing that is required is some kind of 3D rendering support, if you are going to use Axis.
If xclock does NOT work, then your X server is rejecting the connection request from the LinuxCNC system. This is STANDARD behavior! Here's a quote from my bag of tricks file: to allow remote systems to use your X screen 1. get your cookie with : xauth list 2. copy the line with mouse 3. on remote connection, do xauth add <paste mouse line here> exit and it should now allow the remote system to connect to the X screen It seems like there was some other option that needed to be hacked in the X config file on some systems. See http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/x11-connection-rejected-because-of-wrong-authentication/ for some more things to check. The last item there is the one I was thinking of.
