We just purchased a 610 Pseries running AIX 5.1 which included a gxt135p
graphics accel.. My question is, how can I start a vncserver session with
the same graphical login as the main console now gets. I think it is CDE or
something like that. I have been able vnc into the box and get a Gnome
session but I want to know how to start the default session also.

Thanks

Mike

If you examine your home directory, you should see a sub-directory
called ".vnc", in which you will find a file called xstartup. That
specifies what desktop vncserver will startup when involed from your
uid. Mine has the following:

#!/bin/sh -x

PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin

if [ -f /usr/dt/bin/Xsession ]
then
export XSTATION=1 DTXSERVERLOCATION=local
Xsession &
else
xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
mwm &
fi

So if CDE is installed, /usr/dt/bin/Xsession exists and therefore it is
used. You can modify this as you wish.
