Does that one program support a --display argument on the command line? I guess it isn't using the DISPLAY environment variable. Does the Sparc5 run ssh? Telnet? What if you do one of these things from VNC term on the Solaris8 box: xterm -e ssh Sparc5 xterm -e telnet Sparc5 That will open an xterm and you can then log into the Sparc5 machine. Then "echo $DISPLAY" and try to run your program. It's just possible, I guess that the program you are using is hardcoded to use display :0. That would suck! Tell me what happens.
