One Geeks Opinion » Auto start VNC on Mandriva

Edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers, change USERNAME to the user that will login to vnc:
VNCSERVERS=”8:USERNAME”

Add the service
# chkconfig –add vncserver

Start the service as root with
# service vncserver start

run vncpasswd as the same USERNAME to create a vnc password file.

When you use VNC Client to connect you will need to specifty the port to use, in this case 8.
