You dont' have a window manager (KDE, Gnome, XFCE, IceWM, etc) running. One
question:
How are you invoking the VNC Server? Are you starting it from a command line
from an SSH or Telnet session? If so, check your .vnc folder and look for a
file called "xstartup" and make sure it looks something like this:
#!/bin/sh
# Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

Subject: Can't get to display screen
Hi there,
After entering the ip address of the vnc server and password on the vnc
client to connect. This authenticate fine, but it gives me a blank grey
screen with only 2 radio button after authentication:
1) Send clipboard to viewer
2) Send primary selection to viewers
I am running the vnc server Xnvcn version 4.0b4 on Red hat linux
enterprise 3 workstation, and vnc client 4.1.1 (free edition) on
windows xp. May I ask why am I getting the problem above and how to
solve it?
Thank you,
Jana
