[lug] VNC on Linux

[Bonnell, Doug]

The file /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers, as supplied by RedHat,
has only the 0: display defined:

    0: local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100

I just added lines for additional displays:

    1: local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100
    2: local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100

This allowed me to locally setup X for the XDMCP request
from the Xvnc server, rather than seeing the xdm from
the Solaris machine.

Regards,
Doug Bonnell

What exactly were the changes that you made to the Xservers file? I am
just curious about the syntax. Thanks..

Thanks!

Actually, I just found this on Deja (now Google). I also
had to edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers to provide some extra
displays. Without this change, my XDMCP request was being
answered by a Sun workstation. Interesting, but not the
situation I was looking for!

Thank you everyone for your help.

I think all you have to do is edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf

and change

[xdmcp]
enable=0

to

[xdmcp]
enable=1

I have it running through Inetd and I think this is all I did. Of course
I
tried a lot of other things first...

I have VNC running with the -inetd option,
so a vnc process is spawned when a
connection is made to the appropriate port.

I'm having trouble understanding what I need
to do to xdm/kdm/gdm in order to get it to
function as a server. Obviously, display :0
is running on the console, but I can't get a
login window for the VNC stuff.

Has anyone done this with VNC on Linux? I could
use some pointers at the moment.

Thanks,
Doug Bonnell
