Re: [coLinux-users] Colinux vncserver grey screen

[<ch...@to...>]

how are you starting vnc?
if you start by the command line vncserver you need a ~/.vnc/xstartup
script to run a window manager the default one that is installed the firs=
t
time you run vncserver uses twm so if twm is not installed then you will
get a grey screen.

if you are using Xvnc with inetd (or xinetd) you need to configure your
display manager to listen for xdmcp requests.( at least from 127.0.0.1) I
can help further with this If you tell me what display manager you are
using. (kdm gdm or xdm)
