I also changed from the 32-bit to the 64-bit version. I have a dual Opteron server. VNC installed from ports (4.2.1) doesn't work on the 64-bit machine. The same version installed on my home machine (32-bit) with the .vnc directory copied over exactly from my work 64-bit machine runs fine. So in what sense does it fail.... If I create a blank .vnc/xstartup, then I get the usual grey screen. Then if I try and run X commands on that display, some work, like xsetroot -solid blue, but others, xterm, icewm, twm, etc don't. 130>~/.vnc$ icewm -display :9 IceWM: using /home/xxxxxx/.icewm for private configuration files X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 9 Current serial number in output stream: 10 131>~/.vnc$ xterm -display :9 X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Value in failed request: 0x21 Serial number of failed request: 41 Current serial number in output stream: 49 If they are in the xstartup file they give the exact same errors in the vnc log file. I was only running them interactively above to troubleshoot it. Google has failed me for once, so I seek your experience and advice... Greg
