tips for speeding up vnc

[Ceri Hankey]

William,

What i do is do set up vnc for a user then include the following lines into
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

# prepare for bad vnc exits
echo "Cleaning up vnc files in /tmp..."
rm -f /tmp/.X11-unix/X3
#clean up vnc.pid files
rm -f /home/*/.vnc/*.pid
# turn vncserver on
su -l vnc -c "vncserver :3"-alwaysshared
#

Forget which version of vnc I am using, but this has worked with a number of
different vnsservers I have installed over time. The -alwaysshared switch
can give problems so try without it if it does not work with your vncserver.

As you see in this case  I use screen #3 for this use - this is a general
entry point for my vncserver - the user vnc has VERY few priveleges - I
reserve another screen for my personal use and that screen gets turn on only
when I log in.

I am running Mandrake 9.1 - which, I think, is compatible and similar to
RedHat.

Good luck
