Subject: Problem connecting to Solaris 8 systems using Xwin

Hi,

I've googled and searched the archives for a fix for this and although I've
seen many people with the same problem I have yet to see a solution that
works.

When connecting to a Solaris * system with the usual:
xwin -query $solarisbox

It hangs at the Egg Timer.  Black screen, white egg timer.

If I use:
xwin -query $solarisbox -fp tcp/$solarisbox:7100

I get the following:
$ xwin -query snail -fp tcp/snail:7100
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error:            Can't find file "pc/uk" for symbols include
>                   Exiting
>                   Abandoning symbols file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and the screen flashes three times as it attempts to load the next screen
then fails.

This works perfectly with Solaris 2.6 boxes.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin
