[NBLUG/talk] vnc problems after Xorg upgrade

[Robert Hayes]

I recently performed a dist-upgrade that included the move to Xorg.

Since then vncserver won't load. I've scoured the web, and the available ATT 
vnc sites are gone. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas or experience with 
this problem.

As per the error messages (below) I've updated the /etc/vnc.conf with the 
correct font paths, but that doesn't seem to help.

The disto is Debian 2.4.20-xfs.

TIA!

Here is the error message:

~$ vncserver
Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path.
Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script.
