XWindows from Solaris 8
Hi everyone, I have an xwindow problem I could use a hand with.

I have a solaris 8 installation (a container actually, within solaris 10). I seem to not be able to open any xwindows over ssh.

It comes about when trying to install oracle. When ssh'd to the solaris 8, Oracle's runInstaller comes back with

Code:
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors    Failed <<<<
    >>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.

however DISPLAY is set. So I go and run /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo myself and get

Code:
Xlib: connection to "10.12.2.151:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

/usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo:  unable to open display "10.12.2.151:0.0".

10.12.2.151 is a windows machine running Xming, but I also get the same when I put in an address for a Solaris 10 - both have run xwindows from other systems before. That is, I'm confident that the problem exists on the solaris 8 end.

I had to install openssh manually; it works, as far as normal sshing goes, but perhaps I missed something. (X11forwarding is set to yes in the sshd_config.) The guide I used is at Installing OpenSSH Packages - SPARC and Intel/Solaris 8

So... any ideas?

Cheers

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
