I've recently installed KDE & VNC on one of my boxes. I've set up KDE according to the Desktop Configuration Guide, and that works perfectly.
To run VNCserver (without KDE running locally) I logged in as user & issue that command; it seems to create a .vnc directory in ~stroller and I can connect from another host. The GUI is, however, the primitive twm. How do I get VNCserver to display my KDE GUI login / desktop, please..? I have tried changing the last line of the startup file that is created in my ~ thusly: [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller $ cat .vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & # twm & kdm & But running that as user appears not permitted. Running that script as root just causes kdm to start on the machine's local display, not under VNC. I'm not really much of an X guru - Mandrake had an /etc/init.d/ script which took care of this for me - so I'm probably overlooking something simple. Can anyone advise me..?
