I am not familiar with vnc but having no luck with what we are trying now:) Is there a SLES11 upgrade doc with vnc method?

I've been thinking just about trying to get X working (since YaST2 will need that). There are other ways to get the maint finished. Marcy mentioned VNC. Do you know if a VNC server was started on the upgraded system? If so, then it might be wwwaaayyy easier just to use that (than to get X talking). In the VNC case, X is totally local (to the upgraded system). Your X "DISPLAY" variable would be set to ":0" or to "localhost:0". You would then use a VNC client/viewer. Are you familiar with this?
