So Parthada, here it goes...
(V)irtual (N)etwork (C)omputing configuration: A remote X server/client
system based on RFB (Remote Frame Buffer) mechanism
For details funda you have: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
Installation-made-easy
1. For Redhat 6.* and Mandrake 6.1
(a) Get the rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/powertools/6.1/i386/vnc-3.3.3-2.i386.rpm
(b) Install it using "rpm -Uvh vnc-3.3.3-2.i386.rpm"
2. For other distros, you can get it either from corresponding Distro
vendor, or the one from AT&T site.
Configuration (of X server)
1. Edit /usr/bin/vncserver and make these changes:
(a) Near line 13/14 modify the following values of $geometry and $depth
e.g.:
$geometry = "1024x768";
$depth = 24;
(b) Near line 25 change the line
"twm &\n");
to
"/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc &\n");
Starting the server
1. Execute "/usr/bin/vncserver".
The first time you run it, it'll ask for a password(which you'll use in
vncviewer to connect to the X server).
Once done, you'll get a line
"New 'X' desktop is host.domain.com:1"
Now the fun
1. From a Windows m/c execute the vncviewer.exe (you'll get it from AT&T
site -- in Win32 category)
2. Type in host.domain.com:1 (as you were alloted by the vncserver) and
enter the password
3. Voila...
Alternative: fire you browser to http://host.domain.com:580x where x=1 in
this case and get ready for the surprise.
If possible share your success story (be it easy or painful) :-)
Note: All credits for tweaking the /usr/bin/vncserver goes to Rutvik
