Can anyone explain all > this? Have you tried "vncviewer saturn:1". By default vncserver creates a separate display, starting at 1 and incrementing for each instance of vncserver so you must connect to display 1. Also, the process is "Xvnc", not "vncserver". vncserver simply launches Xvnc and passes it some startup stuff (like a window manager, typically twm). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - The problem with being poor is that it takes up all of your time - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
