gui on a headless server

[Vincent Van der Kussen]

Login to the machine with ssh and run "vncserver". Then connect to the host:display with a vnc client. If Gnome is installed edit .vnc/xstartup like this (line 4 & 5)

#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &

Hi,

aside from the mirroring issue i had with this server, it's also a headless one.  So i was able to install RHEL5 into runlevel 3 via serial. But how do i configure it such that i can VNC to it and use gui/gnome/kde, etc.

Sir June
