I managed to solve that problem and here is a procedure for anyone with
similar troubles:

- ssh to a remote server as root
- with yast install x11vnc
- man x11vnc to learn how to use it
- login as an user who is logged on KDE (su <username> )
- x11vnc -display :0
- see on which port x11vnc is listening (5900, 5901?)
- on local machine run: vncviewer <server-address>::<port>
example: vncviewer my.server.org::5901

Voila, you have again access to your server's screen.

Thanks very much to Michael and others for help!

And thank *you* for a great little summary! This is a perfect example of how effective this list can be.

regards,

Carl
