Are you connecting from other Unix X server ?
Sun supports third-party Xterminal connections to the
Sun machine on a best-effort basis. Xterminal 2.1 software
from Sun is not supported on Solaris 2.6... if this is the case you can do the following as root:

mkdir -p /etc/dt/config
cp /usr/dt/config/Xsetup /etc/dt/config
edit /etc/dt/config/Xsetup and and check for the lines
containing any references to "/usr/dt/config/xfonts"
and "/etc/dt/config/xfonts", and comment them all out, save the file. Additionally, you may even find it necessary to comment out all references to "/usr/dt/config/xfonts"
and "/etc/dt/config/xfonts" from "/usr/dt/bin/Xsession". Make sure you have a backup copy of Xsession *before* making any changes to the file.

Hope this helps,
