Displaying SunPCi remotely on XF86

Problem

When trying to use the SunPCi card remote on Linux machines running Xfree86 you might get error-messages like:

X Window System Error: 86 Sequence=xx, Value=0xxxxxxxx

They are the result of the softwares inability to load its font.

Solution

Simply copy the ~/pc subdirectory from the sun-home to your linux-homedirectory. It should at least include the files fonts.dir and pc8x16s.bdf which are used by the application. (It tries to add ~/pc/ to your font-path...)
