If so, any help much appreciated.
I donnot know the problem. I do know Exceed, it is an X11 server that runs on a PC to view remote Xapplications. Hence I see you have a desktop, viewing an intermediate system that shows a remote display. Best way is to remove the intermediate system. You can install exceed on your local system but you ask the vnc area for a solution. Hence, install vnc on the remote unix system, there is a vnc for roughly every unix flavour around. Then you can use vnc from your desktop and gain direct access to the Xsession with the xterm, avoiding all overhead from exceed and such. THe basic vnc setup let you, the user, start and stop the session and can be installed and used in userspace, without any need for root-access or such. Better to let the sysadmin configure vnc in the unix system. He can do it following http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp (this is my favorite for normal usage) And I recently posted an other setup to this list, find it attached once more. Both setups are based on LinuxRedhat but they can be used as a guideline on other systems. > Thanks, > _______________________________________________ > VNC-List mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To remove yourself from the list visit: > http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from sc8-sf-list2.sourceforge.net (lists.sourceforge.net [66.35.250.206]) by lmin07.st1.spray.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1345B6E3C8 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Fri, 23 Jan 2004 11:07:06 +0100 (MET) Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=projects.sourceforge.net) by sc8-sf-list2.sourceforge.net with esmtp (Exim 4.30) id 1Ajy0n-0003j8-Sd; Fri, 23 Jan 2004 01:54:01 -0800 Received: from sc8-sf-mx2-b.sourceforge.net ([10.3.1.12] helo=sc8-sf-mx2.sourceforge.net) by sc8-sf-list2.sourceforge.net with esmtp (Exim 4.30) id 1Ajy02-0003dN-ON for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 23 Jan 2004 01:53:14 -0800 Received: from ns.torexhiscom.com ([130.78.143.1] helo=hiscom.nl) by sc8-sf-mx2.sourceforge.net with esmtp (Exim 4.30) id 1Ajy02-0005Kd-18 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 23 Jan 2004 01:53:14 -0800 Received: by ns.hiscom.nl id <119081>; Fri, 23 Jan 2004 11:19:46 +0100 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Corn=E9_Beerse?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax) X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Xvnc as a X-server (optionally replacing the console Xserver) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Score: 0.0 (/) X-Spam-Report: Spam Filtering performed by sourceforge.net.

It is jet an other way to create an always running vnc session on unix/linux. It is based on RedHat 9 but I think it can easy be moved to every unix that has a Xvnc binary. My goal was to create a linux server that has a text console (for RedHat: as if running in runlevel 3) but still has gdm available (actually running runlevel 5). Roughly, I just replaced the Xserver (XFree86 on linux) with Xvnc. I first installed the vncserver packages from the distribution and start `vncserver` at least once to have a vnc password file. Then (sidestep) I installed http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp. I don't expect it is needed but for me it is the reason to run in runlevel 5 and not in runlevel 3. The real work is in getting Xvnc used as an Xterminal that runs on the same host. For GNOME (gdm) users: edit '/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf': - disable VTAllocation (about line 104) #VTAllocation=true VTAllocation=false - add server definitions (at the end, the double inserted lines are continuation of the previous line, combine them.) [server-ROOTVNC] # vncsession, using vncpassword from root name=ROOTVNC server flexible=false command=/usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd [server-FREEVNC] # vncsession, using no vncpassword name=FREEVNC server flexible=false command=/usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 -rfbwait 120000 -alwaysshared -dontdisconnect - in the [servers] section, add and/or replace lines that indicate an Xserver: # disable the X session on the console #0=Standard # use roots vncsession on :0 0=ROOTVNC # use the free-access vncsession on :4 4=FREEVNC Now restart gnome (or the entire machine) and see the console stays in its text mode and there are 2 vnc sessions running: ONe at `vncviewer machine:0` that uses the vncpassword of root and an other one at `vncviewer machine:4` that has no vncpassword. All provide a login session. To get the same setup with a KDE or XDM session, it is even simpler. Edit '/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers': add the next lines (and comment out all others). WRAPWARNING: each line is either comment or it starts with the same word as it ends (:0 to :0 and :4 to :4). # disable the X session on the console #:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X # vncsession :0, using vncpassword from root. :0 ROOTVNC local /usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd :0 # vncsession :4, no vncpassword. :4 FREEVNC local /usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 -rfbwait 120000 -alwaysshared -dontdisconnect :4 Now restart the display manager (or the machine) and... Detail, if you want to keep the X11 server on the console (not have the :0 vnc session): you might need to add '-vt7' to the 'command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -vt7' line. If I can find some time, I might put this description on a website some time. If others want to do so, please do. If I come acros any other system (HP-UX might be the first) I might mail an update. Be free to test it on any other system. Most likely you only need to update the Xservers file according the above /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers description.
