jack...
thanks for your help... the following are the steps i took (prior to seeing
your response).
for server:
1) loaded redhat 8.0 linux onto a clean box
2) copied latest version of VNC server from realvnc site (rpm for redhat
7.3)
(didn't know how to build the tar version, but this shouldn't be an issue)
3) modified xstartup file for gnome
4) rebooted linux box
5) logged in and started vncserver (vncserver:1, vncserver:2)
i'm not going through any firewalls.. the client box is a windows 2000 box.
the server is
a linux redhat 8.0 box.
for client:
1) verified via the java browser... http://foo.com:5801 (works)
2) used the vncviewer client xxx.yyy:1 (:2,:3)
(if i didn't have the ip address/password correct, an error would display)
the client starts a window. the window is blank/black. gnome does not seem
to start
the log file results are:

the bottom line.. i'm still having the same issues that i've been dealing

You need to read the linux RPM documentation. Try entering the command man
RPM in a terminal window. Basically the RPM command to remove a package is
rpm -e packagename.
Basically you need to set up an a display on your linux machine so the
viewer can connect. If you accept the vnc default the manager will be
something other than KDE. Just envision that you are connecting to a
different console on your linux machine and you must set it up with a
window manager and then an x display.
You control which console you connect to with the :1, :2, etc after the ip
address entry in the viewer.
If your are going from windows to windows or from linux to windows you are
stuck with display :0 so you and the local user see the same thing.
cheers....

Subject: RE: vnc .. black vnc client screen
hi...
ok.. now this is simply getting more confusing!!!!
i've decided to go back and start fom the beginning...
how does one completely remove/uninstall the vnc package. (is there an
uninstall rpm function within linux??)
what are the correct steps for building/installing a vnc server for a
redhat
(8.0) linux platform???
i've seen plenty of msgs that point to a "/etc/sysconfig/vncservers" file.
I
don't have this file on any of the boxes where i've selected vnc from the
linux/redhat distro when i was installing linux. in fact, i can't seem to
find vnc on any of the boxes where i've tried to install vnc as part of
the
linux install process. (i've only had it initially work when i did the vnc
install by hand...)
so, in essence, i'm trying to find some form of docs/pointers to a
sequence
of steps for installing the VNC server on a linux box in a repeatable
fashion....
the docs that i found on the realvnc site weren't that helpful.
by the way, where does the vncservers file come from, and what should be
in
it. is there any doc/set of docs that describes the various setup files
required and what they should include.
Thanks
Bruce

I still cnnot figure out why i'm getting a blck screen when i try to

Subject: vnc .. black vnc client screen
Hi...
A simple question (I hope!!). I can run the vnc browser (java) and I see
the
unix box (GNOME) as I should)....
In keeping everything simple, I'm trying to fire up a Windows VNC Client
to
talk to a Linux VNC Server.
However, When I run the VNC Client (Windows) a black window is displayed.
This used to work before (I think)!!! I've done a lot of rewiring/etc.. I
can't really say that everything has actually worked on this box!!
I run vncserver on the unix box. It appears that I have multiple VNC
displays running. I'm new to unix, so I don't know how to go about
actually
checking to see which displays are actually running.
Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated. Or any pointers to
online
docs/etc....
Thanks
Bruce Douglas
