Can anyone help with my vnc problem?

I followed a previous thread and put the following in /opt/bootlocal.sh;

/usr/local/bin/vncserver

but ended up with an xauth error. i then tried the same but with sudo in front to run as root. Still got a couple of errors but this time vnc did start. However, when i log in from another machine i just get a grey screen with a couple of check boxes in the corner and can do nothing with it. If i kick vncserver off manually as root i can connect remotely without any problems.

Anyone any ideas, i'm new to this linux thing.

thanks

Don't know if this would work but have you tried putting the command to start the vncserver into home/dsl/.xinitrc instead of /opt/bootlocal.sh. That way it won't load up until x has started.
