Dear Stuart,

Thanks for the answer. I had tried to avoid x11vnc, as its setup looks somewhat more complicated for a headless machine - and it did not seem to be the right solution.

But I will give it a shot.

Thanks,
Bernd

I do have a problem with running the vncserver from the vanilla
tightvnc-1.3.10p0 package provided with OpenBSD 4.9.

When I run tightvnc server using 'vncserver :1', vncviewer can connect,
but I get a black screen without any application.

The following is the content of the .vnc/host:1.log file:

tightvnc-server is based on a several-years-old X release and
has historically had a bunch of portability problems, at this point
I think it might be better if we just remove that port..

Try x11vnc (and ssvnc is an improved client compared to tightvnc-viewer).
