That's semi-tricky. You can run xdpyinfo and get the version of 
XFree86 that's serving up your local display:

  xdpyinfo | head

Getting X info from a remote host is harder. The intuitive thing would 
be to ssh into a remote machine and use xdpyinfo -- but will still 
report your *local* info.

On a remote machine, you'll either have to poke around /var/log or use 
the package manager (rpm, apt) to figure out what's there.
