I assume you started X windows first on your laptop.

This is happening on the server, not your laptop, so the problem may be on =
the
server.  Have you tried running matlab on an X terminal connected directly =
to
the server?

Ssh should not cause any problem, I use it all the time to have a graphical
interface for Solaris and Linux.  You just have to make sure that the
environment variable DISPLAY is set correctly (on the server) and that your=
 host
(laptop in this case) has security permission to access the X server (xhost
+<laptop name or address>).
