I have it running on RH6.0. Do you start prefdm from /etc/inittab ?

This is whats in my /etc/inittab file

	v:235:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

This is what I put into /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers

	:1 local /usr/local/vnc/do_vnc_server :1

And the script I use, do_vnc_server is simply this,

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/vnc
HOME=/
export PATH HOME
exec /usr/local/vnc/vncserver $*

You may not need this as I originaly used this script on Solaris.

I haven't followed your thread regarding this but I suspect you have
already modified your vncserver perl script.
I put this;

$cmd .= " -query localhost";

into vncserver after the other lines that begin with $cmd.

If you use the do_vnc_server script or something similar which defines
the HOME directory you should be able to go into $HOME/.vnc and look at
the log file for any errors etc.

Hope this helps,

Larry.
