Berry, We have had the section "Configure the VNC server" in "The Virtualization Cookbook" for quite a while. Did you compare what you did with that section (16.4.1 for SLES in the current draft at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg248147.html )
It does not deal with the X window system, nor XDM. Hope this helps.

Yes, I did try to setup through Yast Remote administration. And No, it didn't help. Regards, Berry. You'll also want to change DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="yes" to DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="no" It's not critical, but error messages will be generated that might cause concern for someone else looking through the system logs. You didn't mention it, but did you try YaST -> Network Services -> Remote Administration to get VNC set up? I would hope that would have done most/all of the things you discovered necessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
