I run FC3 on a Toshiba laptop, and just loaded a new laptop with

On both (both Toshiba), I can run X applications from Solaris 7 boxes
with no problem. When I try to run X applications from Solaris 9
boxes, it fails. The Solaris 9 apps I am attempting to run are Java
apps, Suns printmgr and the Solaris Management Console, smc. Printmgr
opens 2 windows on the laptop (the number of windows and the shape are
correct) Both windows show the window title, but the rest of the
windows is gray. No text, just a gray window. The laptop itself
slows to a crawl, in any window it takes 3-5 seconds for typed
characters to appear. The only way to clear the problem is reboot.
With the smc application laptop speed is not affected. SMC opens a
window with only the title bar showing. The window can be resized, but
again is a featureless gray. It can be closed, where the printmgr
windows cannot. Has anyone else seen this problem? It did not occur
under FC2.
I am seeing something similar that might be related. I want to xhost
applications from Solaris 10 systems to my home FC3 system. Most the
apps I use no longer xhost, though they worked fine in FC2.
While trying to open filemerge, it opens a window but all of the
characters have been replaced by rectangles or crosses, and this
warning:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-
sans-20-0-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
While trying to open an openwindows application, it simply does not
even open:
XView warning: Cannot load font set '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-
*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*' (Font package)
XView warning: Unable to open default font set
XView error: Cannot open connection to window server: localhost:11.0
(Server package)
I can get some apps to xhost like gnome-terminal. I tried both ssy -X
and -Y. Is there some package missing?
TIA
