Dear List,
I do have a problem with running the vncserver from the vanilla
tightvnc-1.3.10p0 package provided with OpenBSD 4.9.
When I run tightvnc server using 'vncserver :1', vncviewer can connect,
but I get a black screen without any application.
The following is the content of the .vnc/host:1.log file:
-----------------------
24/06/11 18:11:09 Xvnc version TightVNC-1.3.10

operation)

Current serial number in output stream: 41
-----------------------
(hostname replaced by 'host' to protect the innocent)
The vnc server is running and I can connect to it with a vncviewer, but
as all applications crash the screen remains black.
Here is the content of the xstartup file:
-----------------------
$ cat .vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
#xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
-----------------------
The 'X Error' originates from the 'xterm', while the 'twm' errors
originate from twm. (I commented out the xsetroot, but that was just
during experimenting and did not change anything).
- The installation is a full OpenBSD 4.9.
- Results do not change when I try running as root or as regular user.
- There is no other vncserver or a regular X server running.
- machdep.allowaperture is set to 2.
When I redirect 'env' to a file during startup, it contains the
following (IPs censored):
-----------------------
SSH_CONNECTION=XX.XX.XX.XX XXXXX XX.XX.XX.XX XX
PATH=/home/schoelle/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/games:.

VNCDESKTOP=X
XAUTHORITY=/home/schoelle/.Xauthority
TERM=xterm
_=/usr/local/bin/vncserver
SSH_TTY=/dev/ttyp1
LOGNAME=schoelle
-----------------------
I am stuck. Any hints of further steps and experiments are welcome.
Thanks,
Bernd
