My vnc server now sort of works! I set the password, edited hosts.allow and my pc side now asks me for a password and presents me with a red screen. The problem I have is that it looks as though it has nothing to do when it opens the window. It sits there with the X style (not kde or gnome) watch icon. This is what is in '/root/.vnc/xstartup': (between the ***'s)

It did sit there for about 3 minutes before I closed the window. Did I include enough info? Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
