Hello,

I installed x11vnc on a solaris 9 server.

When i run x11vnc i get following errors

Code:

17/06/2010 23:34:08 x11vnc version: 0.9.9 lastmod: 2009-12-21 pid: 16203

Please assist. How should get around this problem.


I have tried few more things

There is no Xsun process running; However there is dtlogin daemon running


Code:
bash-2.05# ps -ef | grep dt
root 364 1 0 Mar 09 ? 0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon

----------------------------------
Also, when i try to run the Xsun process i get following error. Is the xinit script corrupted?


Code:
bash-2.05# /usr/openwin/bin/xinit /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun
X: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected
/usr/openwin/bin/xinit: Server error.

------------------------------------------
This is what i tried


Code:
bash-2.05# /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0
/dev/fb: No such file or directory
/dev/fb: No such file or directory
Graphics Adapter device /dev/fb is of unknown type

Fatal server error:
InitOutput: Error loading module for /dev/fb

Thanks
