Hi,
I am running vnc-server on FC5 (x64).
But vncconfig won't come up, it gives the following error.
vncconfig
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or
internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 134 (VNC-EXTENSION)
Minor opcode of failed request: 1 ()
Serial number of failed request: 65
Current serial number in output stream: 65
It started fine on FC4 (x64 too).
I browsed through this list and found the following mail, but this
didn't help getting vncconfig starting again.
Any hint on what might be wrong?
Here's the mail:

Yes, I stumbled on that in the end myself. Basically, to make everything
play nice
1. in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, make sure you have something like
Section "Files"
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, a font server independent of the X server is
# used to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:7100"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1"
EndSection
2. in /usr/bin/vncserver, probably should also add
$cmd .= " -fp
/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/";
in the appropriate place.
