-* enable xinetd's vnc service
-Look at /etc/xinet.d/vnc, [[outcomment]] the line saying <code>disable=yes</code> from the first vnc section. It should look like this:
- service vnc1
- {
-         '''#disable        = yes'''
-         socket_type     = stream
-         protocol        = tcp
-         wait            = no
-         user            = nobody
-         server          = /usr/bin/Xvnc
-         server_args     = -SecurityTypes None -inetd -once -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16
-         type            = UNLISTED
-         port            = 5901
- }
-* allow your display manager to serve xdmcp:
-Edit /opt/kde3/share/config/kdmrc. In the [xdmcp] section, make sure <code>enable</code> is set to true:
- enable=true
-* set yast2 -> System -> /etc/sysconfig editor -> Desktop -> Display Manager -> DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS to true
-* restart the services (killing your login)
- rcxinetd restart
- rcxdm restart
-* connect with vncviewer localhost:1
