You need to modify the xorg.conf file: In Section "Module" add: Load "vnc" And in Section "Screen" add: Option "passwordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd" See http://www.realvnc.com/v4/x0.html for more information.

I installed VNC. At the moment, I can start a new X session on the FC2 and thats great - but this is not the main X session that is active in the FC2, so whenever I shut down the XP (the conreoling computer) - all the processes that I created in the FC2 (the controlled computer) are being killed. My target is to work from the XP on the FC2 directly - and not to open a new X session. How can I do that? Thanks Yigal
