VNC is already using display 0, so you would have to do: startx -- :1 Question, though. The whole point of VNC is that you have an X desktop open from the remote machine. Why start *another* X session on top of it? Instead, on the remote machine, there should be a ~/.vnc dir, create a file called xstartup, make it executable, and then edit it to start whatever desktop or window manager you want to run on VNC. -- JoeHill ++ ICQ # 280779813 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "I'm even lethal when I'm unarmed, 'cuz I'm louder than a bomb!" -- Chuck D. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
