good post thanks... but i managed to find a solaris 9 package, so i decided to go that route.

i am having another problem though.

when i try to run vncserver, i get the following error:

Quote:
$ ./vncserver :1
vncserver: couldn't find "xauth" on your PATH.
i googled the problem and it seems that i found the same question, but no helpful answers.

i did find the following:

Quote:
grep xauth /var/sadm/install/contents
as recommended by a website, but it didn't work either.

EDIT...

okay... i redid the path and things seems to run... but now here's a new problem.

i'm running CDE on my desktop, but when the vncviewer session starts, i get well, i don't know the exact term, but it's an X shell, that has nothing but a grey screen and is totally useless.

and yes, i did do what the link you posted said to do with my config file... but still nothing. :/

EDIT.

okay... it looks like i got it, but i don't like it. yeah i know i'm picky.

i searched further and came across this gem:

vncserver -query localhost

when i did that, the nice solaris 9 login prompt appeared. i set an alias to do the dirty work.

however, is there a way to fix this so that when i type "vncserver :1" it works instead of doing this, "-query localhost" business?
