OK, I know this issue has been raised before, and that I probably shouldn't have to raise it again, but here goes . . .

I'm using VNC between Windows XP and Linux (Mepis). I can get the XP desktop to appear properly on Linux, but at the XP end, all I can get is the Linux console with a grey background. After reading about a few similar problems in the mailing list archives and elsewhere, I tinkered with the xstartup and .xinitrc files. Specifically, I replaced the 'twm' entry with 'kdm' in xstartup, and in .xinitrc I added an entry for startkde, as well as something else that I can't remember right now (I removed the line). Nothing so far has worked.

I really want to get this to work. Can anyone suggest some steps that I should try? By the way, I am a complete newbie, so please assume that I know next to nothing about Linux!

Cheers,
Angus.
