VNC and fc3

[Scott Ward]

Hello,

I have VNC Server running as a service on Fedora Core 3 and I have
opened TCP port 5901 on the Linux firewall. From my WinXP laptop I am
able to log in to the VNC Server, but then I just get a blank screen...
nothing more. HELP!

Thanks,
...Scott




Here are the contents of ~/.vnc/xstartup:

[sward at NCDURHSWARD .vnc]$ cat xstartup
#!/bin/sh

unset SESSION_MANAGER

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
