I've search the entire site but I couldn't find the VNC tutorial ...
my gentoox loads vnc at startup, but I can't connect from my computer....

thanks...

If you go into webmin there is sort of a tutorial under system documentation (search for vnc).

Here's a short documentation from me...:

Download a VNC package from here: http://www.realvnc.com

Run the 'VNC viewer' program. Type in your Gentooxs' IP address as the target - 'gentoox' as the password. Bingo! There you go... Should work just fine...

PS. Should you need to start the server, call up either an SSH window or a konsole and type:

su - root
vncserver

you should use the init script to restart vnc

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/vnc restart
