There is no file in /home/[USER]/.vnc ...?
The Fedora VNC Server called "Desktop Sharing" doesn't work properly on this computer. I can connect, but the picture is so bad, it's not possible to work like that.
The Desktop sharing was using something called VINO on Fedora 10, haven't looked at what Fedora 11 does with that. I use the regular vncserver. Logged in as the user I run vncserver :port (colon port). Example: vncserver :50 That would load a vncserver session using port 5950 The first time it will prompt for a password for the vnc, and will create the .vnc directory and the xstartup file. Then I edit the xstartup file and uncomment the two lines. Then I have to kill the vncserver, and run it again to have the correct desktop connect. I then edit the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file to start the vncserver session on startup for that user on that port.. Also have to set the server to start under services.
Then the session is automatcially started on boot up, and I can log into the machine using vncviewer IPaddress:port .

You probable need to look at the xstartup file in the .vnc (period vnc) directory in the users home directory. The file has a statement that you need to uncomment two lines to get the normal screen? Don't know why that isn't the default.
The Fedora has changed to another vnc program that can be loaded by yum install vncserver, and that is what I setup on my Fedora 11 systems.
What do I have to do to see a copy of the screen (as I would see it if I’d connect a monitor to the Fedora machine)?
Please make it easy, I’m new to Linux… :D
Thanks for any help…

What two lines are you talking about? My .vnc/xstartup file looks like this (after I run vncserver :50 and create the password)
#!/bin/sh
vncconfig -iconic & unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS OS=`uname -s` if [ $OS = 'Linux' ]; then case "$WINDOWMANAGER" in *gnome*) if [ -e /etc/SuSE-release ]; then PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin export PATH fi ;; esac fi if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc fi if [ -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc fi [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & twm &

I had pulled the xstartup from Fedora10 system which is the following? #!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & twm &
I had created a file that extracted a lot of settings I used to setup machines, and I have used the same setup for Fedora11 and it worked with this one as well.
