Hi all,
Well I was going to try to paste in a link to show how to install a VNC X-Terminal server but the system won't let me yet. You may already know how to do this already, but anyway, with some fiddling I got it to work on Mandrake (had to use Gnome to get it to work). However at one point, I was logged into an X session, and it froze up. I logged into another session on the same machine (using VNC), and did a ps -aux (I was logged in as root). that showed a bunch of entries, and I just guessed at the best one to terminate. Turned out to be the right one. Incidentally it showed as Xvnc -inetd ... etc ... etc. That seemed to kill off the zombie X session, but I was wondering if there was a better/easier way to do what I just did?

-P

P.S.
I should have said "educated guess." I didn't just arbitrarily say "That one!" and kill it off, although that could be fun under certain circumstances. Also, hopefully I am posting to the right forum.

Usually you can hit Ctrl-Alt-Bckspace. This will restart your X session.

You can also hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6 to go to a terminal screen. You can log in and do the ps -aux and kill whatever you like. I think X is in the Ctrl-Alt-F6 screen (tty6), but I'm not positive on that one.
