How to Set Up VNC to Provide a Solaris Guest Graphical Login with GDM

1. Become superuser, or assume the appropriate role.

2. Enable XDMCP for GDM:

   # printf '[xdmcp]\nEnable=true\n' >>/etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf # svcadm restart gdm

3. Make sure that GDM is running:

   # svcadm enable -s gdm

4. Set the X11-server to listen to the tcp port:

   # svccfg -s x11-server svc:/application/x-11/x11-server> setprop options/tcp_listen=true

5. Enable the Xvnc inetd services:

   # svcadm enable xvnc-inetd

6. Connect from another machine and verify that you see the login screen and can log in to a desktop session.

   # vncviewer domU:0
