VNC - getting a black screen on FC4

[bruce]

find your vnc/xstartup file...

i use/start gnome... this allows me to have gnome instead of the default
x-window...


my version looks like this:

[root at lserver2 ~]# ls .vnc/xstartup
.vnc/xstartup
[root at lserver2 ~]# cat .vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -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" &

gnome-session &
#twm &

Subject: VNC - getting a black screen on FC4


Hi
I set up the vncserver on Fedora Core 4 according to the real vnc web
page. First problem I'm having is that even though I set up the
authentication method and the password file pointing to /root/.ssh/
passwd I still have to start the server with the password argument
pointing to this file or I get an error saying I have not created a
password. I did create it with vncpasswd. The second problem, which
is the one I need to fix first, is that when I connect to my FC4
machine using a vnc viewer all I see is a black screen. I don't see
the login screen, just black and the cursor ( a big X ).
What is going on? Can someone help me fix this?
Thanks
EJ
