Two lines to /etc/services

vnc-server 5900/tcp
vnc-server 5900/udp

and one line to /etc/xinetd.d/vnc-server
port 5900

Once I did these two things. No more error messages and it works as advertised. Thanks!

With XDMCP

vi /etc/xinetd.d/vnc-server-5908

service vnc-server-5908
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
group = tty
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1024×768 -depth 16 -once -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc -securitytypes=none
}

# vi /etc/services

Add:

vnc-server-5908 5908/tcp

Dont forgot to open your firewall for 5908 !

May need to restart system for effects to kick in

VNCSERVERS=”8:username”
VNCSERVERARGS[8]=”-geometry 1024×768″

to the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file to have vncserver listen on port 5908?

Also, do you know of a GUI frontend for the vncserver that can change the port? I know vino did in fedora 10, it was a tab in the System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop dialog, but it seems to have disappears as of fedora 11.

With the above I believe the display is handled by XDMCP and GDM ?

You can define multiple service entries for different screen resolutions at different ports.

How would one go about changing the display number of the server?
