markhawk : 04/04/03 03:21 PM : Incident created -   I have run vncserver on my Web server configured with 9.1, however my vncclient (dual boot machine with XP and 9.1) locks at startup leaving a "watch". In 9.1 root I get a RED screen in user I get the background with no icons. In XP the same occurs, any suggestions. Many thanks Mark Hawksworth
Linegod_7611 : 05/04/03 06:58 PM : Reply received -   Currently, there is a problem with VNC and KDE/Gnome. Most people have been able to get VNC working by disabling all anti-aliasing, or by running a different Window Manager. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon. ----- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
markhawk : 05/04/03 08:52 PM : More info provided -   Linegod Thanks for the suggestion, killed vnc, turned off anti-aliased fonts and re-booted using ICEwm. I re-ran vncserver on screen :1. Then tried my tightVNC viewer and it still locks on the watch. Any other suggestions? Mark

Try adding/editing '/home/{username}/.desktop' and set: DESKTOP=icewm Then restart vncserver as that user, and see what happens. ------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
