I have a similar problem. I am running my vncserver on a solaris 7 workstation and my
viewer on a Win98 PC. After I have started the server, I was informed that that it is
running on cad2:1. So, I connected my viewer uhave sing IP_of_cad2:1, was prompted
for the password and then entered the vnc desktop. It is possible to display xterm
windows but when I tried to open my application, it says "X toolkit error : cannot
open display". What seems to be the problem, has it got something to do with my
.Xresource file? I do not such a file in my HOME directory, is there such a file
hidding somewhere in the system that I can copy to my HOME directory and use? Thank.
