VNC + X.org works at all?

Dave,

Xvnc/vncserver is an application - it can't lock up your machine in the way
you describe unless something is severely broken in the operating system.

The most likely cause of your problem is that your network drivers or
hardware are dodgy.

Cheers,

Ok, how about (( VNC && X.org) && ( distro != FC3))?

X.org works great by itself.  Issue the command "vncserver :5" and vnc
starts up and accepts connections temporarily.  After a couple of minutes,
however, linux box freezes up completely, no network, no gui, nada.  Must
hit the power button and recycle the box.

The vnc startup does report problems w/xauth, but it bypasses this until the
system freeze. _______________________________________________
