Dont know if this is of any help might just be reciting basics. But I am using vncserver fine with fc3.(have lots of other problems though!!) I would suggest making sure that it def is not running. ps -ef |grep vncserver if it is running then kill it ... obv. if it doesnt show try vncserver -kill localhost.localdomain:1 I always run vnc as a user never as root maybe that has somthing to do with it?? The config should look somthing like .vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: # unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & twm & run vncserver from command which should then prompt for a password (like i say i only ever run this as a user not tried root) it will then confirm the session for display :1 eg New 'localhost.localdomain:1 (flandercan)' desktop is localhost.localdomain:1 Starting applications specified in /home/flandercan/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/flandercan/.vnc/localhost.localdomain:1.log However if :1 is in use then it should use display 2 ??? anyway if this is just basics you already tried maybe the thinking out loud helped you a bit (hopefully) flandercan
