Florian's given his recommendation to use the RHEL3 beta code. I'm going to recommend that you _not_ use your expensive z900 CPU cycles to run an X-based desktop, regardless of which version of Red Hat you wind up running. It's awful wasteful, and not necessary. Having said that... Based on the warning message you give, it appears that you're not using an SSH tunnel for the X $DISPLAY. You might want to look into doing that instead of what you're doing now. The value you'll need to set is "X11Forwarding yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, then restart sshd, and reconnect. That won't get rid of the error message (or fix your other problem), but it'll make things more secure for you. The warning message you're getting is because the X server running on your desktop doesn't support that particular X extension. The only thing you can do about that is upgrade/replace the X server on your desktop. Eliminating the warning message may or may not fix your gnome-terminal problem. You might want to try other terminal emulators, such as xterm, Eterm, etc. to see if any of those work.

I'm able to start a gnome session, but I get the following messages : Xlib : extension "XINERAMA" missing on display "10.102.3.6:0.0" However, I'm able to start the gnome-session, everything seems to work, except for the terminal emulation program where I get the following message : application "gnome-terminal" has crashed due to a fatal error. (bus error). Any idea?
