Now I using SuSe 8.0 and KDE 3.0, and I want use the VNC server, but when I start the server, I get always the info that starting a new X window, and from client with VNC viewer only a xterm is showed, what is the problem? Thanks Jianyu Wang

Check ~/.vnc/xstartup and replace lines with xterm and twm with a window manager of your choice. - Dan -- Steinbach's Guideline for Systems Programming: Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle.

Hello Jianyu Wang, When you run the vncserver command, the actions it takes are described in the ~/.vnc/xstartup file. If you look in that file, you will probably see that it is starting some window manager and an xterm. This is what you will see when you start the vncviewer program and connect to that vncserver. Is it your desire to make your :0 screen available to others via a VNC viewer? If so, you'll need the x0rfbserver program available on the Internet (or a more recent version of KDE which includes this functionality).
