Hello,
Sorry to sound a newbie here - I recently updated Gentoox with MAGIC which successfully went through the 16 or so updates. During the update i noticed VNC was updated to a different program but missed any info it displayed, and now I'm unable to connect to VNC again.
I've had a search for the answer on these forums but most VNC releated questions seem to cover other problems, so thought I'd post a message and ask for help.
Many thanks
Paul.

Try out this: http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/s/0042.asp
From what I have figured out, you have to write an entry in /ect/services and then create the corresponding config file in /etc/xinetd.d

Might be totally wrong though
::edit::
also saw that there is a "rc-update" utility. maybe that will help you ? (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rc-scripts.xml at the bottom)

oo blimey, I can tell I'm a Linux newbie - spent the last 3 hours trying to get this working.
Bascially tried the Gentoo tutorial link but I couldn't get it to work because TightVnc was removed during the Magic update and I can't reinstall. I still followed the tutorial but nothing came out of it.
The trouble is the VNC servers mentioned in the links don't exist. Take this for example:
The Server mentioned in the Gentoo tutorial (/usr/bin/Xvnc) and OpenBrick tutorial (/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvnc) don't exist.
The file 'vncserver' does exist in these directories though, so I tried substituting this under the server option, but had no luck.
Also tried rc-adding vncserver which didn't work either.
Does anyone know what type of VNC program was added during Magic? I read that VNC is actually built-in to XFree now - but in that case how can I make it start on boot?
Many thanks for your help...
