A related problem: when I do ssh -X to my SL box.
And from there I try to start xterm -- I've got an error:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
Any idea how to fix it?
About a month and half ago I had similar problem on Solaris 10:
downgrading patches from 126133-03 to 126133-02 fixed it.
But if I'll install older rpm on SL -- next day it would be auto-updated.
Cheers
Alex
