Hi Jerry,
thanks for your prompt reply.
I went into YAST2/sysconfig editor and I believe I've found those settings
you mentioned.
Under the following hierarchy: Desktop -> Display manager I've checked:
DISPLAYMANAGER = kdm
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS = yes
DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE = yes (this even scares me a bit)
DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER = yes
The problem still stays: no login manager in vncviewer.
Will be waiting for more ideas :)
THX,

Hi List, First thing off, the (not so) obvious answers to questions I've already asked myself: 1. I'm running openSUSE on an Intel PC (uname -r = 2.6.13-15.7-default) 2. connecting from a Win XP laptop on the same network segment as the target PC 3. /usr/X11R6/bin/vncserver has "startkde" instead of "twm" at line 63 [ "startkde &\n"); ] 4. Remote Administration is allowed, Port is Open In Firewall (in YAST2) 4a. double-checked service "vnc1" is ON by default in xinetd (in YAST2) 4b. double-checked Remote Administration is actually allowed in Firewall (in YAST2) 5. file /etc/xinetd.d/vnc seems OK
All that I can get upon connecting from my laptop to the LinBox is the usual grey screen showing "nobody's X11 desktop (Linux :1)".
Any advice?

Basically what you got working is:
VNCServer via Inetd, (Non-Persitent session, New logon for each connection) Unfortunatetly, No logon manager is listening to VNC...
in Yast2->system->sysconfig editor set Allow remote login to yes. Then you should get the login manager.
