I use one of the VNC flavors to access my Linux Remote Desktop and Shared
Desktop on my laptop. You can either access through a web interface or
through the VNC software. I have had the same problems with my Suse 9.2 box,
I can log in through text and try to startx and get all kinds of errors. I
found one that works, it was on an older version of Red Hat 7.3 Kssh.
