I got "systemctl start xdm.service" to start after installing many more x

No idea which specific thing it was that "fixed it".
startx is unhappy. Below is the screen output. I suspect I still need to run a setup/config for this specific machine, as the config file I copied from another is old and has bad keywords. I've not found one as yet.
If xdm.service is running, and you get a graphical session, then you do not need to try startx.
Copying the config file is a bad idea. In fact, the default is no config file (talking of /etc/X11/xorg.conf). If you copied it, you should delete it.
Parse error on line 45 of section Files in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf Ignoring obsolete keyword "InputDevices". VMware: No 3D enabled (0, Success).
Is this a virtual machine?
Yes, it is a VM. I got things working to the point I could do a VNC session from my PC.
However, I want to emulate another system where I can VNC into a port other than the default (standard) VNC port. Although I have it (apparently) working (no errors on starting that configuration) I cannot access it remotely as I can other servers. It appears it is due to the chosen port being blocked by firewall.
In "the new order" of things I do not see a way to allow "custom" ports to pass via the firewall control in YAST, only the "known" services are selectable.
log into the host machine, then to the VM. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc What sort of day was it?
