Running VNC server with nano-X

May 12, 2008 1 Replies

I've got a custom piece of hardware running a Linux 2.6.10 kernel on a Freescale Coldfire processor. Got the OS up and running and all my hardware going. Local display is a 1/4 VGA (epson S1D13a04) run via frame buffer using nano-X (microwindows) for my GUI. That's working great but I would like a way to do a quick and dirty remote GUI and I would like to use VNC to do this.



Unfortunately I can't get the blasted thing to work! I've used RealVNC on other platforms but what came with my BSP is not RealVNC but something much more basic. Really not sure how to configure it and the help info from the program isn't much help.



When I try to start the server I run it with the board's local IP and display (0) like this:



bin/nano-X & bin/vnc 137.237.242.175:0



The response I get is:



bin/vnc: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused bin/vnc: unable to connect to VNC server



Anybody have some experience with this? I'd really appreciate any help....


Obviously you are starting a VNC client. And the client does not find a server at 137.237.242.175:0.
