Presumably your setup is different, but normally Fedora 3 running gdm puts xauth cookies for the console in /var/gdm/:0.Xauth, i.e. something like this will work (as root) with VNC on 0.0: # DISPLAY=:0.0 XAUTHORITY=/var/gdm/:0.Xauth vncconfig -list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
