Essentially you have to start a VNC server for each remote display. Then you have to create a directory /etc/dt/config, copy /usr/dt/config/Xservers ( Not recommended to edit /usr/dt/config/Xservers directly ) to it and edit it to add an entry for each display number to start dtlogin on. Most of the stuff has to be done as root.
See: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/archives/2000-08/0442.html The above also mentions copying S99dtconfig from /etc/rc2.d to rc3.d if you are using mounted paths. I did not have to do it to use my home directory paths. If you do that dtconfig -d won't work to disable dtlogin at boot up. I actually used info from the above URL to run VNC on solaris like WinVNC so that you can see the existing desktop remotely. I shall post this later. I had fixed some quality problems. You can take a dump of xdpyinfo on your normal display and save it in a file for later reference. Then use the max. color depth for server and specify the same depth with truecolor in client. However as someone pointed out some programs like vlsi cad may not work. I had to do this since I did not want my regular desktop to look worse. Hope I do not run into problems. While testing you do not have to reboot everytime. You can: run dtconfig -kill kill programs from ps -aef which match "grep -i vnc" or grep -i openwin ( None should ideally ) followed by /etc/init.d/dtlogin start Suresh.
