adjustments, but I still am having troubles. Here's the situation:
-I'm running SuSE Linux 9.0 with KDE 3.2.2 -I have downloaded the latest version of RealVNC
You should have started with the vnc from your distribution. It is pre-configured to your distro. Hence, remove what you have installed from other sources and install from the distro. Best to install all vnc* packages and once it all works, remove obsolete ones. After that you can update the binaries (`Xvnc` and `vncviewer`) and optionally the java stuff (...vnc/classes/*).
-I start up VNC with the command
vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -name "KDE Desktop-VNC" -depth 16
Better not try to do it fancy the first time. What does `vncserver` (without all option) give?
Possible problems in your options:
:1 you specify a display number, this uses port 5801, 5901 and 6001. If one of them is not free, it will fail. If you don't specify, the `vncserver` script will find a free one and report what it uses.
-name "...." I've seen not-so-well-written scripts that cannot handle special characters in names like this. It is pure cosmetic hence try without. Once that works, add a name.
-I have altered the xstartup file to execute startkde, and only that
-I access my VNC server from Windows to find that KDE has started up, but immediately an error is shown that says the "KDE Splash Screen crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)." Further errors occur afterward with the exact same message as before only altered in the name of the application that caused the "signal 11". Because of these errors, I am unable to operate my Linux box remotely.
This happened every time I tried again, I altered the startup command so that the geometry was 680x480, 800x600, and others. That didn't do a thing. I changed the depth between 8, 16, 24, and 32. That didn't change anything, either. This is driving me nuts that I can use KDE with RealVNC. Other window managers like TWM work fine, but that's not what I want.
Success,
