OK i have a VNC mystery.
I am running a RedHat 7.0 workstation, XFree 4.1, and beta tight VNC.
I am trying to set up a "loopback" where I connect to the VNC server via
a viewer running on the same machine.
As long as I start X, then start vncserver, then start vncviewer,
everything works fine.
But if I try to start vncserver, then vncviewer without X running first,
vncviewer fails with:
Error: can't open display:
Here's how I start the whole thing:
/usr/bin/vncserver :1 -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24 -deferupdate 50
/usr/bin/vncviewer -shared -fullscreen -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24
-encodings "raw" localhost:1
I've tried this with various display numbers, so it's not a display
number issue.
I've also tried this with just :0, localhost:0, hamlet.cardinal.lan:0 -
no dice.
What's up????
