running X remotely

[Marvin Bellamy]

I'm trying to run X remotely with eXcursion.  When I connect to our Sun 
servers, the color looks fine.  However, when I connect to the Linux box 
that I just tweaked to run XDMCP, the color depth is ugly 8-bpp.  I 
recognized this since I had a hell of a time learning how to set the 
color depth at home.  When I run X windows on the Linux box, the color 
is fine.  I know how to configure the depth in XF86Config, and I removed 
every entry except the 16 bpp "Display" element.  My "terminal" machine 
has much better hardware than the remote Linux host, so this shouldn't 
be the problem.

Also, when I start up eXcursion, I get a series of  "couldn't find some 
font path element" dialogs.  The permissions on these files look 
globally readable.  Any ideas?
