This is what I do: linux2> vncserver ...... linux1> ssh -L 5901:linux2:5901 linux2 linux1> vncviewer localhost:1 ...... then I am prompted for the vnc password, but after the authentication I only see a white window with a dot for the mouse on linux1. The following is the log message on linux2: 01/04/02 21:08:09 Got connection from client 127.0.0.1 01/04/02 21:08:09 Protocol version 3.3 01/04/02 21:08:14 Pixel format for client 127.0.0.1: 01/04/02 21:08:14 32 bpp, depth 24, little endian 01/04/02 21:08:14 true colour: max r 255 g 255 b 255, shift r 16 g 8 b 0 01/04/02 21:08:14 Using raw encoding for client 127.0.0.1 01/04/02 21:08:31 rfbSendUpdateBuf: write: Broken pipe 01/04/02 21:08:31 Client 127.0.0.1 gone 01/04/02 21:08:31 Statistics: 01/04/02 21:08:31 framebuffer updates 1, rectangles 1, bytes 3145740 01/04/02 21:08:31 raw rectangles 1, bytes 3145740 01/04/02 21:08:31 raw bytes equivalent 3145740, compression ratio 1.000000 Did anyone experienced the same problem and have fixed it? tianjie --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
