I'm running into a rather bizarre problem when trying to run X programs
remotely and have them display on my local console screen.  I'm running
Linux on my home machine, ds9, and running FreeBSD on the remote machine,
voyager.  I'm trying to get xload to display voyager's load on ds9 using
the following commands on voyager:

setenv DISPLAY ds9:0.0
xload xload -update 5 -geometry 56x35+324+0 -bg black -fg green > /dev/null &

which worked fine way back when voyager was also a Linux system.  However,
now I'm getting:

xload: can't open kvm files <a bunch of upper ASCII garbage here>

Any ideas what's going on here?  Muchos thankyous!
