startx - no screens found
 
hello you all
well I need some help from you guys
recently I tried to install vncserver over my dedicated server and after lots and lots of tries I have got to a stop since I don't know how to go further
so let me describe what I did

first of all my linux distro is CentOS
now

I have managed to install and run vncserver successfully (firewall is off on server) and added fluxbox to the vnc startup script
but seems I have some issues connecting with the IP and so on

tried to debug and see what exactly is wrong and got to thing that there is no issue with vnc as it's installed and runs correctly

so tried to open startx (X Window System - well at least I think that is is since I'm no expert in Linux/CentOS) and got a error that says

Code:
startx
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.2458

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/ks305626.kimsufi.com:0
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

says that no screen found
not sure how to set one up since I don't have one as it's a dedicated server so no physical access to it

not sure if that is the problem here but any help is highly appreciated

thanks all you reply,

You should check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file like it says:
Code:
(EE) No devices detected.
The device it needs is a graphics driver to run your card so
that it gives output to your monitor. Maybe start with what you
have in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file on the native system?

also tried installing KDE and that didn't work also think since it needs access to this
