Opensuse 11.4 and Gnome
I cannot get x11vnc to start via ssh. I keep running in to this MIT magic cookie.
I have tried the -findauth and -auth guess but I am told .Xauthority is not set.
ps wwaux | grep auth which worked for me under KDE does not help.
I am using x11vnc so that I can export the active seesion :0

What are you passing to the -auth parameter?
I’ve found that x11vnc has to run as root because in 11.4 with gdm (at
least), the authority file is not world-readable.
