Hello,
thanks for the reply. I did also try ssh but it did not solve font and color problem, neitheir the XInputExtension missing problem.
I will try to setup all the fonts from my AIX box on the Mac X11 server, but I have no idea for the color problem ("Bad colormap parameter" error) and the XInputExtension problem.
I did look through the internet but I did not find anything on how to fix it.
