Option "rfbport" in xorg.conf?

[Barr, Keith]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to specify the listening socket for VNC running under Linux RHEL 4.  I am using version 4.1.2 and I am using using native X display which is configured as described in the on-line documentation (adding vnc.so to the libraries, adding a the VNC module, and specifying options in the "Screen" section).

 

I thought I would simply add a line like this:

 

Option  "rfbport"            "5921"

 

To the screen section, but it doesn't seem to work very well.  Sometimes it does, but it is very inconsistent.  If I remove the line and connect on the standard 5900 it is solid as a rock.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I have 8 computers behind a router that I would like to access directly, so that is why I am hoping to use individually specified ports.

 

Thanks,

Keith Barr
