I dont get any error in the console, the server runs... but once I check the
log I see errors. (sorry for not being clear)

I'm connecting from another computer on my local LAN. (a windows machine)

I dont have a regular X desktop on the VNC server.. I just run telnet

I have no idea what type of auth I'm using..
