getting VNC from a Win box to show desktop on my FC3 box?
|

| Well, I've beat my head against the proverbial wall for a week now and
can't seem to figure it out.
I'm trying to connect to my FC3 box and see the gnome desktop that I am
typing from right now through VNC from a Windows box also running VNC.
When I connect I get a little text box in the upper left and I can issue
command line commands, but I don't get the desktop like I would if I were
doing a windows<>windows VNC connection.
Could anyone using VNC/Gnome post their config file so that I might see
where I'm going wrong here?
Thanks.

You need to edit the file xstartup which is in $HOME/.vnc
The content should look something like:-
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
# [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb
$HOME/.Xresources # xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic
& # xterm
-geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
# twm &

Sorry, that got a bit scrambled. Should be:-
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
# [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
# xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
# xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
# twm &

I owe you a big one, or at least a cold beer - that was perfect, I managed
to unscramble it and get it working, now I can access my FC3 desktop no
matter what part of the network I'm sitting it/at.
Thanks a lot!

This is soooooo great. I don't use my XP box anymore for Usenet since it
was a pain trying to keep the two sync'd with duplicated groups, not I can
just VPN into the network, VNC into the FC3 box, and then use PAN without
any problem.
Thanks again.
