Can you replace your app with `xterm`? If that works, it is most likely the application that cannot handle the :1 in the display number. (I've seen to manny commercal apps that have this problem. Most of them can display on other display names but they are hardcoded to :0.0....) If you have this problem, try one of the next setups for vnc at :0.0 : http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ If you use the XFree86 Xserver: gives access to :0 http://www.hexonet.de/software/x0rfbserver/ If your Xserver uses the framebuffer device: gives access to :0 (btw: is your machine realy called unix?) If `xterm` cannot start, then start Xvnc (or vncserver) without X-security: add the -ac parameter: `Xvnc -ac` or `vncserver -ac`. If this works, and you need security, check the X documentation on security. The app to alter the X security on the fly is `xhost` (hence check `man xhost`). > It looks like possibly the app is using libxt?
