Malte,
tightvnc working great on 11.0 here. I bet you are having firewall problems. As root, try:
rcSuSEfirewall2 stop
Then try connecting with either of your vncviewers again.
(1) Also, on your 11.0 box where vncserver is running, make sure you have created your password and set you desired desktop. To get vncserver running the first time, I always use a plain text terminal (konsole) and from my home directory type:
vncserver -geometry 1024x768 -depth 15 :1
The server will ask you for your password and then start the session. This also creates your ~/.vnc folder with the following contents:
13:08 zion~> l .vnc
total 120
drwx------ 2 david users 4096 2008-06-22 13:08 ./
drwxr-xr-x 49 david users 4096 2008-06-22 13:09 ../
-rw------- 1 david users 8 2008-05-17 09:49 passwd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 david users 150 2008-05-22 02:07 xstartup*
-rw-r--r-- 1 david users 10382 2008-06-22 13:13 zion:1.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 david users 5 2008-06-22 13:08 zion:1.pid
(2) You can then edit xstartup and define your desktop for vnc. It will
contain:
13:15 zion~> cat .vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
startkde & # Set for KDE over tightvnc
#startxfce4 & # Set for xfce4 over tightvnc (if xfce4 is installed)
#twm & # Set for twn over tightvnc (this is the default)
(3) Make any changes you wish and then kill the vncserver with "vncserver -kill :1" Then simply start the server again as you did before in step (1) and you are ready to go.
(4) To connect from another computer, I just use "Alt+F2" and enter:
vncviewer hostname:1
( Note no space between 'hostname:1' ) You will then be prompted for
your password
Give that a try. As I have never used UltraVNC, I can't be of any help there. tightvnc just works every time for me. Also note, I usually kill the vncserver as in step (3) when I'm done with the vnc session and restart it when I wan't to connect again. That way I don't leave another desktop running and it seems to do better that way.

Hello.
Using the new Version 11.0 i got the following problem:
Connection via VNC (UltraVNC) to the Linux Server, only the 256KB/s (w/ 256
Colors) is possible.
With every other (higher) setting i get a buggy screen and with the first
keyboard click the connection crashed.
I also tried TightVNC and some others - all had the same problem.
Using the same UltraVNC Client with a Linux V10.3 Server everything worked fine.
Can somebody help me ?
Best regards,
Malte
