I'm running vncserver on a box on our lan and I can connect to it only as display 2 as a blank X screen. But I want to be able to see what is actually being displayed on the screen on the server. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Steve.
Nothing. That's how VNC server works. If you want to see your active desktop you need to use a different server program. I use x0rbserver which does what you want. Something doesn't seem to reliable about it, but I suspect the Windows client at the other end in my case.

/usr/local/bin/Xvnc :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -alwaysshared -rfbauth & export DISPLAY=:1.0 /usr/local/kde/bin/startkde &
