Re: [SLE] Enabling VNC in SUSE 10

Hi Jerry,
thanks for your prompt reply.

I went into YAST2/sysconfig editor and I believe I've found those settings
you mentioned.
Under the following hierarchy: Desktop -> Display manager I've checked:
DISPLAYMANAGER = kdm
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS = yes
DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE = yes (this even scares me a bit)
DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER = yes

The problem still stays: no login manager in vncviewer.

Will be waiting for more ideas :)

THX,
-mw
