Subject: [ilug-cal] Vnc
> 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
