Wow, it's been a while but, IIRC, the toughest part was getting the vncserver configured. /usr/bin/vncserver is a perl script that needs some work. You also have to run vncpasswd. Good documentation can be found at: http://www.tightvnc.com/docs.html Once you have the server script set up, do: $ vncserver that should return something like: $ vncserver New 'X' desktop is MRK.schroder.xxx:1 Starting applications specified in /home/ernie/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/ernie/.vnc/MRK.schroder.xxx:1.log $ cat .vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & startkde & and the other Gen2 box: $ cat .vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & wmaker & If the server starts, from the client do: $ vncviewer A box will pop up and type in the IP or name of the server (in my case 192.168.1.3:1 a second box pops up asking for a password. Enter that and you're in. If you can't get the server configured, email off list and I'll send my /usr/bin/vncserver. I'm going to be out at a Renaissance festival all day so I'll check back this evening -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
