I can't run DrakConf either in a remote SSH session. I don't seem to recall the reason why, but I ran DrakConf from the console once and it told me. You might try that and see if it works...
Also, are you ssh'ing as root or as another user? Just as an idea, you may have better luck ssh'ing in as root and then trying.

If I login over ssh I can run other X apps, but the DrakConf command just returns a prompt with no error if I am already root, or prompts for the root password and then returns to a prompt if I am not. Posted on this sometime back with no responses, so I'm interested to hear if others get the same behaviour. cheers Brian
