It is likely, I think, that you don't understand that the stock Xvnc does *not* permit 'co-pilot' operation of a desktop visible on a hardware video adapter, as the Windows servers do. Xvnc expects to run in the background, and *only* be connected to by remot clients -- if you want to talk to a stock Xvnc from it's local machine, you have to run a vncviewer client *on the real X server*... and it's that Xserver that your Xvnc server is likely colliding with, since it lives, by default, on :0, which is probably where your Xvnc server is trying to go too. If that's not enough hint, reply to the list and we'll try to explain further. Cheers , -- jra -- Jay R.
