SunPCI VNC interface setup on U5

Question

Hi,
I'm having problems getting VNC to sun on my SunPCI2 card in my Ultra 5. I want VNC to utilize my built-in network interface (hme0) but it keeps looking at the loopback interface (lo0). I've tried adding the line
set VNC_INTERFACE=hme0
to the VNCStartup script, but it does nothing. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong... Help?
Thanks in advance, Mike

Well the furthest I have ever so far got is to get the following error: -

</td></tr></table>Your default X environment is missing the CDE <i>dt-*</i> fonts. (They come with eXodus 9.0 for the Mac, I think, but of course most people just use Apple's X.app server nowadays, which doesn't.) This can be solved by running a font server on your Sun. Make sure that the <b>fs</b> entry in <i>/etc/inet/inetd.conf</i> is enabled (uncommented) and SIGHUP <i>inetd</i> to enable it. Then, back on the PC or the Mac, do an
<i>xset fp+ tcp/<b><server's fully-qualified hostname goes here></b>:7100</i>
to add it to the font search path. (If you're using Windows, I'm not sure how you'd do this - you can obviously do this from the command line on a Linux PC or a Mac.)

After which the SunPCi window closes.
I can get this window to fire
a) over a VNC 4 client to VNC 4 server session
b) over the built in SunVNC
c) over xvfb to Cygwin on my PC. (seems the nicest way :-) )
Each way I get this or a worse keyboard.c message.
</td></tr></table>This one?

No clue if this one can be solved :-( Google turns up no hits at all on this error message.

Overall all I want to do is remotely display my SunPCi display on a Windows or Mac.

<AOL>Me too</AOL>
When I get a message like this Keyboard.c error, I feel like I'm the first person that's ever tried to bring up a SunPCi window on a remote Mac (without using Xvnc or some other remote control setup). :-(
