I was wondering why you had taken out the password code, it
took me a little while to figure out why your version wouldn't
connect to my servers when I first tried it :-)
I have passwords set on the servers (Xvnc comes with a utility
'vncpasswd' to set them). On the Prisma, I am using Vnc linked
directly with the nano-X server and starting it by running 'vnc'
directly from a telnet session. To test it with the X11
screen driver, I built Vnc using the client-server option
and then start nano-X in the background followed by Vnc
in the foreground (from an xterm). I just tried it with demo.sh
and it works OK there as well.
I am going to be away again for a week but will do some testing
with a Windoze server when I get back.
Regards,
George
