I use the default vnc that installs with Centos. I'm using the default 
client that is installed with the Centos 6 VM. I believe the default now 
is TigerVNC, which I think used to be TightVNC. The #2 above seems 
accurate to describe my problem.

Again, I have a Centos 5 server with Xen on it. I'm trying to install a 
Centos 6 VM under that system. It's a fully virtuallized VM. I can 
install the system just fine, but when it's time to reboot and bring up 
the new VM , all I get is a bunch of garbage on the screen as if X11 
can't start, over and over. I thought I read somewhere where this type 
of setup uses a vnc connection.

Thanks
