I am trying to autologin to a kde desktop and then share that desktop with a Windows PC using the VNC Java client. (I recognize the potential security issues in doing this).
If I start RH7.3 in init 3 and manually log on I can run vncserver to establish a kde desktop and then run xinit to start vncviewer to display the desktop locally (display :0). The Windows PC can then use port 5801 to access the desktop from Internet Explorer. But I cannot figure out how to automatically start this environment without manually logging on first. It appears that in Red Hat the only way to autologin the kde desktop is with kdm. Ive modified the kdm Xservers file (/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers) to start Xvnc on display 1 instead of starting X on display 0. But when I do that kdm 3 never appears to completely initialize. The task list shows kdm-config running, rather than kdm-greeting, which is normally what shows up once X is started. Could someone please tell me how to autologin into kde with Xvnc? I dont really need kdm. I just need to start Xvnc (with kde) and X with vncviewer under a non-root userid without having to manually login to mingetty and run vncserver and xinit. Thanks.
