I don't think you need perl to use VNC, or at least I didn't. On trying to connect, I had one problem that led to something similar to = your case. In my case it was due to a poor use of "cut and paste": I = copied the script (govnc.solaris) as I read it on the web page to a text = file on my PC. Then I transferred it to the AW51D. I followed all the = steps and ended up with a grey screen as you say. The problem was that = some lines of the script were larger than the 70 chars where the notepad = (or explorer?) insert a CR. I edited the script on the AW with vi and = made the corrections. In particular, check the line that starts Xvnc = (/usr/local/Xvnc -dontdisconnect ...) and the one that defines FONTPATH. = Also pay attention to any other "missing" line that may need a comment = (#). Hope this helps.
