Connecting to VNC hangs my system

Hello all,
Using Red Hat ES v3, with all up2date packages.
I setup VNC to use my root X desktop....using these changes...
in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
VNCSERVERS="1:root"
in /etc/X11/XF86Config
To section Section "Module" add
Load "vnc"
To section Section "Screen"add
Option "passwordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"
This worked on other RHEL v3 systems. But on this one in particular,
when I connect to hostname:0, I get prompted for my password, but then
when I enter it, I get the VNC window with a blank screen, and it
crashes my system. My RedHat box totally freezes, and I have to pull
the power. No local console..nothing.
I have tried connecting from an XP box, another RedHat box, and even
locally using vncviewer localhost:0. All results are the same.
Any ideas,
Thanks,
Shane
