Put what you usually put in .xinitrc to start KDE, in xstartup, and kill the existing VNC session, and restart it. That should fix it. I hope this helps. -- Eric -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of John Mills Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 7:41 AM To: Jaideep Bhatia Cc: 'FreeBSD Questions' Subject: RE: [ot] good Xserver for Windows 2000?

If omitted, the next free display number is used. There is apparently a limit on display numbers - I was able to assign '99' but not '101' - but the number seems to be greater than '2'.
