Hi Emre.

I have to do something wrong somewhere. Here is what I did.

I use paravirtual DomU. The aim is to access is remotely through VNC 
(for start).
I installed xserver-xorg and I installed KDE plus kdm.

I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and xorg sugested vesa driver (I 
have Nvidia card in my HP DL145 G2 server), and I choose to use 
framebuffer. Then I went through the other options like monitor etc. 
(default settings).
I restarted and :

 2331 pts/0    R+     0:00 ps ax

I then installed vnc4server. As normal user I executed vncpasswd (set 
password) and vnc4server to start the session.
But the vnc session does not come up. What I do wrong?
