2 questions for newbies

Hi I'm totally new to solaris 5.9

Two questions.
1. What is the replacement for /proc/cpuinfo (isn't this part of POSIX). I heard it's psrinfo but it doesn't work.
2. I use ssh - v -X with X tunelling from linux onto a solaris server, but xclock failed. it says won't open display. $DISPLAY is empty, what should I do? I've seen other people using nedit so it's not a problem with the server's permission.

Everything is different in solaris, even the version of 'top' used in solaris 5.9 was written in 1996!. I wonder if solaris would start borrowing gnu ware without violating GPL.
