Hi people!

Does anyone have experience with running Xvnc (or other VNC server) in domU? 
I have finally managed to get GDM running with Xvnc but there are
still some issues:

1) it is only running in 640x480 with 256 colours. I know I can give
Xvnc the parameters -geometry/-depth, but I don't know how to tell GDM
to supply these parameters... Giving these parameters to gdm has no
effect. Can I set it somehow in /etc/X11/XF86Config?

2) I can't log in. I can fill the username in gdmgreeter, confirm with
Enter, fill in password but even then Enter does nothing. Neither logs
me in nor complains abut wrong password. I suspect this to be a
problem of vncviewer because ocasionally it works. Anyway, has anyone
else seen this problem?

Thanks!

Giovanni
