It works here...

$ srun --x11 xdpyinfo   
srun: job 1744869 queued and waiting for resources
srun: job 1744869 has been allocated resources
name of display:    localhost:57.0
version number:    11.0
vendor string:    The X.Org Foundation
vendor release number:    11906000
X.Org version: 1.19.6
[...]

Remember that the internal version in Slurm uses libssh2 and so that imposes 
some restrictions on the types of keys that can be used, i.e. they have to be 
RSA keys.

Extra info here: https://slurm.schedmd.com/faq.html#x11

You can (apparently) still use the external plugin if you build Slurm without 
its internal X11 support.

All the best,
Chris
