Thank you for all of your responses. One question though, update the gt on the host vnc machines or the clients? My vncviewer works well from my Mandrake box to any non-Mandrake 9.1 vnc host.

Hello, When running VNC server (and tightvnc server) from any Mandrake 9.1 machine, any attempt to connect to vnc host results in only the wallpaper displaying and nothing else. This appears to be an inherent problem with the MDK 9.1 build; how is this resolved? Your responses are greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

I > don't seem to have that file. > > Can anyone tell me what it contains, and if it is not critical can some > email me the file. I consider this a bug in Mandrake, but I am too lazy to report it. It is a "missing" file, but an unimportant one. First, this missing file has nothing to do with your VNC problem. Next, if the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop contains the word "GNOME", and you have Gnome installed, then that will be your default desktop environment. If it says "KDE", and you have KDE installed, that will be your default desktop environment. If that file does not exist, and you have both KDE and GNOME, it will default to KDE (bah!). If you do not have KDE or GNOME installed, and that file does not exist, it tries to run AnotherLevel. If that fails, it tries FVWM2. See the file /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients for the exact script I'm talking about. Regarding the VNC problem, try restarting your Windows box...? --Derek
[expert] VNC Server
I am using VNC Server on my Linux box. Till yesterday I was able to use VNC Viewer on my WIn95 machine. Now, all I get is a semi refreshed screen and it hangs. The Xclient file on my X11 dir is looking for etc/sysconfig/desktop file. I don't seem to have that file. Can anyone tell me what it contains, and if it is not critical can some email me the file. I assume that the absence of this file is the cause of my problem. I am using KDE on LM 6.0 with 2.2.9-27. Thanks Sridhar
