If the problems with X on FBSD are limited to the X "server"
(display subsystem), perhaps you can run X "clients" (such as a
recent version of FireFox) on the FBSD box with DISPLAY set to
the Solaris box.
The simplest way of doing this is to ssh into the FBSD box from an
xterm (or rxvt, or whatever) on the Solaris box. Depending on how
ssh is set up you may (or may not) need to specify -X to get the
X protocol forwarded. Forwarding will result in DISPLAY being set
to something like localhost:10.0 in the FBSD shell session, and it
should "just work."

The problem I was having is fixed now. xrdb was hanging for some reason
to be fixed later. However, I am very much interested in your
suggestion and planned to post some questions about how to do it when I
had time to work on it.
Best regards,
Fred
