Booting VNC with GDM under Redhat 6.1

[Axel Suppantschitsch]

Hiya,

    I managed to open a gnome-session at bootup with following
"/root/.vnc/xstartup" file:

#!/bin/sh

xrdb /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources
#xsetroot -solid grey
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &
exec gnome-session &

This works for now, but I would like the original Redhat 6.1 graphical login
screen after booting the vncserver (gdm).

Does anybody know how to get this working?
