Hi, I'm looking for validation of the following recipe for VNC and VNC screen resolution change. I'm looking for an X/VNC expert to review these steps... (Thanks).
I managed to get a VNC session working on snv_95 using the following recipe/setup steps: 1. From: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/setupvnc/ <COMMANDS> * Turn on xdmcp. # svccfg -s cde-login svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login> svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login> setprop dtlogin/args="" * If you are not running vncviewer locally on the control domain, set X11-server to listen to tcp port. # svccfg -s x11-server svc:/application/x11/x11-server> svc:/application/x11/x11-server> setprop options/tcp_listen=true The VNC listen facility should be used with caution due to security considerations. * Add VNC services at /etc/services. vnc-server 5900/tcp # VNC Server * Turn on xvnc-inetd services. # svcadm enable xvnc-inetd </COMMANDS> 2. Alter the service property: <COMMANDS> # svccfg -s xvnc-inetd svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> editprop changed: # setprop inetd_start/exec = astring: "/usr/X11/bin/Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once securitytypes=none" to: inetd_start/exec astring "/usr/X11/bin/Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once securitytypes=none -geometry 1280x1024" saved the edit (vi) seesion with ZZ ... ran listprop </COMMANDS> // Note this is how I set the resolution.... 3. Reboot ..... Now I can login via my Mac vncviewer and get a 1280x1024 resolution. Just what I wanted.... So... is this how I should have gone about this? There are all sorts of conflicting and confusing VNC setup steps around for Solaris 10/Open Solaris, I'm sure some of them work within a specific context, but I'd love to see an expert review of my recipe above...
