Yeah, I think Xvnc's default display is :0, which is what the main X server on your console would be using. It would probably work if you specified a display that is not in use (e.g. "Xvnc :1" which is what the vncserver script does by default). Xvnc doesn't actually talk to your :0 X server. It is a completely separate X server which sends its output to VNC viewer(s) rather than to a physical screen. > Also, I can run vncserver, it opens a degraded CDE session but it's more > than nothing. Hmmm. Degraded? How so? Is this something you've seen before on your other VNC servers? Is this one running the same OS version and patch level as the others? Is the Xvnc binary copied from another box or was it compiled locally? -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
