What is the value of the DISPLAY environment variable?
If it's set to display locally (i.e., you're running Ethereal on a
desktop Sun workstation or a PC running Solaris), have you configured
your desktop X server to allow connections by root (using xhost)? I
suspect Solaris uses a local connection mechanism that supports passing
credentials, so it can know the user ID for local connections.
If it's set to display remotely (i.e., you're remotely logged in to the
Solaris machine, and want it to display on a different machine on your
desktop), have you configured the desktop machine's X server to allow
connections from the Solaris machine?
If it's not set at all, it needs to be set appropriately.
