Hi,
I have Xvnc set up to be run by xinetd (this is on a Redhat Fedora 2 Linux system). I have Gnome installed and at the console, login is via gdm. I would like the vnc connection to be managed by gdm also, so that when I connect via vnc, I get the gdm login screen.
What happens now is that when I connect with the vnc client, I get a black window and the X cursor, but nothing else. I can move the mouse and see the X cursor moving. However, I do not get the gdm login screen and can do nothing except move the mouse pointer -- no gdm, no window manager... nothing.
I have tried running Xvnc standalone (via the vncserver command) and it works OK -- sort of. When I connected to the standalone server I got a window running twm (not Gnome), but could open xterm from the twm root right-mouse-button menu and do pretty much everything I need. So I know this can work -- just can't get vnc to run from xinetd and be managed by gdm.
I followed the instructions at http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp
to get this far. I created a file in /etc/xinetd.d that contains different entries for different screen resolutions, have matching entries in /etc/services, and each xinetd entry follows the same basic pattern:
service vnc-640x480x8
{
protocol = tcp
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 640x480 -depth 8 -SecurityTypes None
}
So... what am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
