Hey Jorge,
Thanks for your advices.
Well, the part in init.d script that actually starts the server is:
...
for display in ${VNCSERVERS}
do
SERVS=1
echo -n "${display} "
DISP="${display%%:*}"
USER="${display##*:}"
VNCUSERARGS="${VNCSERVERARGS[${DISP}]}"
runuser -l ${USER} -c \
"cd ~${USER} &&
if [ -r .vnc/passwd ]; then
vncserver :${DISP} ${VNCUSERARGS}
...
So it's
DISP="${display%%:*}"
that actually provides the display number. My scripting skills, unfortunately,
are too limited to tell what this is doing.
It seems to me however that it is hardcoded. For good measure, I even tried
changing that SERVS to 0 but when I launched vncserver again it still grabbed :
1. Too bad.
I would not call me an expert on Unix, but I have been working for SAP for
several years and I've seen a lot of vncserver and I'm sure that on Unix (AIX,
Solaris at least) vncserver without parameters grabs :0 first.
One could object that Unix are primarily server systems where no X is running
by default while Linux is equally often used as a server as much as a desktop
so that :0 is often taken by local console... but then again, vncserver already
has a mechanism in place that allows it to take the next free display when
default one is taken so I do not understand why they should have chosen :1 as
standard implementation. :-/
Regarding the other test... I don't know. It doesn't seem to work now. Not
even to choose the display number! :-/
Thanks
Marco
