Hi, I have configured vnc on my centos server machine. But, unable to access the vnc client. When ever i try to access my client. All I get is a blank screen with only mouse working. I am very clue less about the problem, Can I find out this error.

Most likely you do not have a window manager configured in your ~/vnc/xstartup file. Mine, for example, looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & startxfce4 &

The last line starts up my window manager and desktop.
