Your display is set to include the machine name. Edit vncserver to set a $DISPLAY value without the hostname or with `localhost` for hostname. If this does not work, you can also remove the X11 security from the vncserver script. Disable the 'xauth' stuff in the vncserver script. OPtionally add the `-ac` option to the Xvnc call. >>>>>>> other log removed <<<<<<<<<<, > what is the unable to open display messages for? and > that routing message for xrdb?
