Hi again!

I'm trying to run the current Solaris 2.5 build of Xvnc / vncserver on a machine which 
I don't have root privedges to. From previous posts, it looks like I should try an 
option like "-pn" or "-nolisten local" (older versions?). I've tried both ("-pn" is 
actually in the vncserver script), but no joy - I still get the error as below.

I have to correct myself here - I found that the "-pn" option was in fact working, but 
for some reason the vnc processes weren't displaying when I used 'ps -ux' / 'ps -ef'. 
So - many thanks to previous posters for this info!

However, I'm now having problems starting a mapping app that I'm trying to run within 
XWindows. All the standard XWindows apps work fine (Filemgr, etc), and even Imagetool 
with a 24bit photo displays properly. However, when I run the mapping app, it gives 
this error when trying to open the window, and exits :

  X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  53 (X_CreatePixmap)
  Value in failed request: 0x8
  Serial number of failed request: 11696
  Current serial number in output stream: 12320

I suspect the app was only written to handle basic XWindows display configurations - 
it's a few years old, and hasn't been updated to support CDE, for example. It also 
often suffers colour corruption when sharing a desktop with Netscape, which suggests 
it uses it's own palette? Could this be the problem? Is there any way around this?

Many thanks!!

Damian
