Okay now. So far, I've managed to finally get a non-root KDE desktop set to 800x600 - 32 Bit depth. I did indeed have to log in as a normal user and then start the vncserver with vncserver geometry 800x600 depth 32 So I am making some headway on this project. Now, here is what I am ultimately shooting for. 1: Have vncserver load automatically at boot time with the above parameters. (800x600 is plenty suitable for my needs here) I do not want to have to ssh in to the system first to start the server 2: When I run my vnc client to access the vnc server, be presented with the greeter, so that I can log in as any user and select any installed window manager (GNOME, KDE, or Enlightenment) 3: When I close out my window manager, I want to be taken back to the greeter, so that I can either log in as another user, or shut down the system. 4: And while I am at it, I want to be able to have sound capabilities for non-root users. Right now, only root can have sound. Also, where is the .vnc directory located? I can't seem to locate it, even though I'm pretty sure it is there somewhere. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
