I have a newly installed and up2date patched version of RH9 to be used for a c++ programming class. I like to use VNC through a VPN tunnel to get back to my W compies, and have been having a big problem getting any version of VNC server working on RH. The server is working to an extent. I've got the server running, and can connect, but get the infamous gray screen and X combo, rather that an x-window desktop. I've seen numerous descriptions of how to do this with earlier versions of RH, but nothing specific to RH9.
I'm hoping that somebody out there has developed a shell script for properly configuring the desktop, and setting VNC to autostart on boot.
I already admit Newbie status, so any help would be greatly appreciated. If I waste much more time on this, my other classes start to suffer.
TIA
