VNC and Red Hat 7.3 - problems

[wargod]

I'm having a hell of a time getting VNC to run under Red Hat 7.3. I admit i'm a bit of a newbie but i've tried scouring the net for answers and have found no solution. Here's the errors I'm getting when I try to load it, as well as the logfile created. According to the logfile a socket connection cannot be created. If someone could help me i'd appreciate it.

When loading...
-----------------------------
xauth (argv):1: bad display name "imageserver:1" in "add"

But it seems to load after this message anyway...stating "new X display at imageserver:1"

Mine gives that message always too, but it still works. Have you tried connecting to the vncserver from the other PC yet?

 

[wargod]

Well you are right, I tried it after for the hell of it and it does work but now i'm running into another problem. When I load the vncserver it kills web browsing....I can still access the network through a shell...so i'm assuming this is a problem with the kde desktop environment...since just logging out and back in fixes the problem..of course when you load vncserver again it bombs out...

 

[Travail]

Would you post your ~/.vnc/xstartup ? That might be helpful.

Also, are you connecting to the system with the vncconnect/vncviewer program, or through a web browser aimed at the port?

I was using the vncviewer to access the computer, but even without launching a viewer the system still encounters problems. Any help is appreciated here.
