You need to give your clients authorisation to access the Xvnc server (careful with the client/server terminology when using X or Xvnc - the clients are the programs that appear on your Xserver, including the window manager - if that can't start, you get only a grey screen). What uid is your Xvnc running as? It might be running as root, and your Xclients won't be allowed to connect to it. You should be running Xvnc as your own uid. See below: > how can i tell vnc server is running? is there a process id? You can do: ps -aef | grep vnc which should give you something like: $ ps -aef | grep vnc user1 467 1 0 2001 ? 00:14:34 Xvnc :1 -desktop X -httpd /usr/s user2 490 1 0 2001 ? 00:01:27 Xvnc :2 -desktop X -httpd /usr/s user3 30536 1 0 Jan15 ? 00:00:00 Xvnc :3 -desktop X -httpd /usr/s Which should give you the process id's for any Xvnc server sessions, and (first column) the UIDs they're running under. If you must run Xvnc as root for some reason, have a search for 'xauth' in the archives for answers on getting the authorisation for your clients (or do 'man xauth'!). -- Illtud Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Uwch Ddadansoddwr Systemau Senior Systems Analyst Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru National Library of Wales Yn siarad drosof fy hun, nid LlGC - Speaking personally, not for NLW --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
