I have recently setup VNC (Version 4.1.1), with the VNC Server running on a RedHat Linux 9, and VNC Viewer on a Windows XP (SP2).
It is working fine and I can access the server desktop 1 on the server, using either a browser or viewer from my XP. I can even get a Gnome desktop. When I tried to share the native X display, I ran into troubles. Please help. I followed the steps as suggested on http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/x0.html 1) I checked the directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions" and found the module "vnc.so" already there. So no need to copy at all. 2) I edited the XF86Config file in same directory to include Load "vnc" in the Module Section 3) I also edited the XF86Config file to include the following in the Screen Section: Option "SecurityTypes" "VncAuth" Option "UserPasswdVerifier" "VncAuth" Option "PasswordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd" I restarted the RedHat Linux PC, and started a vncserver desktop 1 with "vncserver :1" On accessing the server from my vncviewer from my XP, everything worked fine when I tried to access desktop 1. On opening up the vncviewer to access the native desktop 0 with "domainname:0", my vncviewer showed a black applet window with a tiny curor that could be moved around. But nothing else could be done. On the Redhat server side, the whole screen froze ( I am not sure if Linux crashes or the X Window system crashes). The only thing that can be done is to reboot the Linux PC. Any suggestions?
