Mike...
VNC server has its own X server
my machine that I uise VNC on alot has these files
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers : screen name and user
vncserver uses the xinitrc in a users home directory so edit that to run
proggys OR add a startkde or what ever OR on my mandrake box I have a
.vnc in the home dir and in there is a xstarup script tat reads
#!/bin/sh
# Mandrake Linux VNC session startup script
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
Also have a script that strats i in the sysv init
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver
It parses /etc/sysconfig/vncservers and starts them up for each user
Most important part of the script is this
Start() {
gprintf "Starting %s: " "$prog"
ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1
RETVAL=0
for display in ${VNCSERVERS}
do
gprintf "%s " "${display}"
initlog $INITLOG_ARGS -c \
"su ${display##*:} -c \"cd ~${display##*:} && [ -f
.vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${display%%:*}\""
RETVAL=$?
[ "$RETVAL" -ne 0 ] && break
done
[ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && success $"vncserver startup" || \
failure "vncserver start"
echo
[ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/vncserver
on the command line you can specify shared or not, colormap, password,
port/screen
I have used it for years on both Windows and Linux...
