All,
I'm a slackware noob. I had Fedora running for a while on my media PC at home, then went to windows for a while, now I'm trying slackware. So far, I installed slackware 12.2 from DVD using basically the standard options I found on various guides. I successfully installed the video driver I downloaded from NVIDIA. Now, I'm trying to get VNC running so that I can remotely run GUI applications. I downloaded RealVNC 4.1.3 because I have had success with this VNC server/client in the past. However, I'm having issues when launching it in slcakware. I installed it by downloading vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux.tar.gz into /tmp. I executed tar -xvf to expand the tar file. I ran ./vncinstall per the README file. I log in as the user brian and execute vncserver. The following output is displayed:
Code:
brian@bserv:/tmp/realvnc/vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux$ vncserver
New 'bserv:1 (brian)' desktop is bserv:1
Starting applications specified in /home/brian/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/brian/.vnc/bserv:1.log
However, I see the following when I connect using a VNC client:

I tried executing startkde & again (it's already in my xstartup file) and it looks like it was running but did not launch successfully. This time it gets further through its startup process but it still doesn't finish launching. I end up with an environment that looks like the following:

Here is my xstartup file:
Code:
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
startkde &
Here is the vnc log:
Code:

Does anyone know what might be the issue here or if there is something else I need to do to make this work? Please let me know if there are other config or log files that would be helpful.
Thanks!
