The sun box won't let kdm access it.

The X *server* on the linux box doesn't matter since the video card
you're trying to use is in the sun box.
Are you trying to run the remote X app over ssh (recommended) or via
telnet and setting DISPLAY? The latter only works if you xhost the
remote machine ('man xhost', basically you let anything on that
machine use your X display, big security hole). If you use ssh be
sure and enable X forwarding on both sides. IIRC debian's sshd has it
enabled by default, but check /etc/ssh/sshd_config. On the client
side you need to pass the proper option. IIRC on solaris' ssh (ssh2
at least) it is "+x". Notice also that 'ssh' and 'ssh2' are separate
commands. With OpenSSH (the ssh debian uses) "-X" enables X
forwarding. Fortunately both systems use (almost) the same config
file.

Look in /etc :-). A quick glance through a Solaris 8 system at school
looks like /etc/dt/config/ has some relevant files.
