I've got a number of Windows XP boxes that want X11 access to a Suse host. I've performed the following steps: Install vnc on Suse create /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc containing: Service Xvnc { type = UNLISTED disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/local/bin/Xvnc server_args = -inetd :10 -query localhost -once -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 port = 5901 } under /etc/sysconfig/displaymanger, I have the following set: DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes" DISPLAYMANAGER_START_XSERVER=yes DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN=yes Firewall is off Xaccess allows broadcast, and to any host kdmrc has the xdmcp stanza enable=true and port=177 restart xinetd and X11 but can't remotely connect. Get Connection refused. Same results with locally running vncviewer localhost:10 Sadly, same message is mimicked in syslog; nothing else. What steps am I missing?

Dunno, But you already have tight-vnc installed on opensuse, use that then simply download the tight-vncviewer for windows. I've never had any problems. To get the windows viewer: http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html On opensuse, just setup tightvnc by running: vncserver -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 :1 Set your passwords, then kill the vncsession with: vncserver -kill :1 edit your ~/.vnc/xstartup and get rid of twm as the windows manager (or keep it if you like it) and replace it with either icewm or kde. (you get better response with icewm, but some people just like to have the full kde over vnc). I also comment out the xterm because I don't like it constantly opening. Your xstartup should look something like this: 00:26 ecstasy:~> cat .vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey #xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & # ## comment or uncomment as desired # #twm & #used to start twm interface icewm & #used to start icewm interface #startkde3 & #used to start kde3 desktop interface #startkde & #used to start kde4 desktop interface Then just start the vncserver again: vncserver -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 :1 and login from windows with the address of 'hostname:1'. You will be prompted for your password, then you will have linux via vnc on your windows desktop. Note: you may have to kill and restart vncserver if it doesn't close nicely from your windows session. (if the screen remains on windows after you logout, just use the vncserver -kill :1 and then restart the server) You also have any number of resolutions available. My laptop is 1440x900 so I use 1280x800 for a good large vnc desktop geometry when starting vncserver. Have fun. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
