It's also possible to run VNC via xdm, if you want to go
that route. Unfortunately, the computer I did this on is not available
at the moment, but it's fairly easy to do if you want to try it. Just
add the Xvnc server as your display :1 (or whatever) in xdm's Xservers
file. Don't use the vncserver script, just run Xvnc with the appro-
priate command line. On my system, I had to use the geometry, depth,
and dpi75 command line switches. Xvnc will be a local server, not
a remote one.
If anyone wants to try this and they're stuck, e-mail
me and I'll send along the changes I made to the xdm configuration.
I was not able to get this to work with gdm. For some
reason, the gdm login screen would not appear.
