Maybe I'm both missing something and making things less clear. The true(verbatim) log file is: 10/11/98 15:40:01 Xvnc version 3.3.2r2 10/11/98 15:40:01 Copyright (C) 1997-8 Olivetti & Oracle Research Laboratory 10/11/98 15:40:01 See http://www.orl.co.uk/vnc for information about VNC 10/11/98 15:40:01 Desktop name 'X' (neale.econ.vt.edu:1) 10/11/98 15:40:01 Protocol version supported 3.3 10/11/98 15:40:01 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5901 10/11/98 15:40:01 Listening for HTTP connections on TCP port 5801 10/11/98 15:40:01 URL http://neale.econ.vt.edu:5801 Fatal server error: could not open default cursor font 'cursor' _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 xrdb: Interrupted system call xrdb: Can't open display 'neale.econ.vt.edu:1' _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 xsetroot: unable to open display 'neale.econ.vt.edu:1' _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 xterm Xt error: Can't open display: neale.econ.vt.edu:1 twm: unable to open display "neale.econ.vt.edu:1" My interpretation of this is that vncserver is trying to find "cursor font 'cursor'", and not finding it, dies. Therefore, the connection refused errno is simply a symptom of the server which doesn't start (properly). In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, there is a file cursor.pcf.gz. This directory is in the font path specified by the vncserver script. I have an X server (XFree86) running on this machine without any problem. I believe that vncserver is based on the XF86 code, but. . . I'm getting the results above.
