AFAICT, this is not the case. On both my Fedora & Debian installs, x11vnc is just a binary that attaches to an existing X11 server and exports it - it doesn't provide an X11 itself, like tigervnc or tightvnc do. > > Can you tell me a bit more detail about how you launch this all. > > Sure: > > $ vncserver -geometry 1000x768 -name nowm :2 > $ (export DISPLAY=:2; exec </dev/null >>.xsession-errors; exec 2>&1; > icewm-session &) Can you tell me output of $ ls -al /usr/bin/vncserver On Debian this is normally a symlink to alternatives. If so, also tell me what this reports: $ ls -al /etc/alternatives/vncserver Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
