I use http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp for that. It focusses on RH7 but can be used on many, if not all, unix and linux machines. > > However, when I connect via vncviewer, all I get is a grey screen with > an X pointer.

It should be the one from the account that runs `Xvnc`, definitly not the one that logs-in. With the setup as on my link, the ~/.vnc folder is not used. > > I'm using vnc version 3.3.7 and SuSE 8.2.

If you started at the SuSE 8.2 documentation, you should know that what you want is already installed and configured out of the box. Hence: if you installed vnc from an other source, remove it. Start Yast and install vnc (all vnc parts) and you are set. > > Thanks, > > Chris Hogan > _______________________________________________ > VNC-List mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To remove yourself from the list visit: > http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
