Hey, First, it looks like you are running vncserver perl script. Can you confirm.
If so. the easy way to display the desktop is to open the ~/.vnc/xstartup file and replace the twm with dtwm. But if you want more control then run Xvnc with the options. You will want the option -query localhost and -fp tcp/localhost:7100 This will give you the dtlogin screen. so any user can login. Hope this helps, or gives you a start. Steve P.S. To see all Xvnc options run Xvnc -help. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gabor D.
