tsu2,
thanks for the continued efforts
made the change to lightdm and rebooted
still no access on port 5901 using the server setup by xinetd
messages received:
vncviewer from the server: “reading version failed: not an RFB server?”
tightvnc client (windows): “Error in TightVNC Viewer: Unsupported protocol: /usr/lib/vnc”
tigervnc client (windows): " “reading version failed: not an RFB server?”
remote access from manually started vncserver works fine from all clients
