Packages needed for installing X Windows in Solaris 10 for being able to use vncserver

I have found a couple of times that i need to setup vncserver on a machine in one of the remote offices very useful when needing to load up either some web UI’s or applications locally due to either bandwidth limitations or licensing.

These are the packages you need for being able to install vncserver from the opencsw repository (these should also work for the blastwave repo as well)

system      SUNWxwcft                    X Window System common (not required) fonts system      SUNWxwdv                     X Windows System Window Drivers system      SUNWxwfnt                    X Window System platform required fonts system      SUNWxwice                    X Window System Inter-Client Exchange (ICE) Components system      SUNWxwmod                    X Window System kernel modules system      SUNWxwopt                    X Window System Optional Clients system      SUNWxwplr                    X Window System platform software configuration system      SUNWxwplt                    X Window System platform software system      SUNWxwrtl                    X Window System & Graphics Runtime Library Links in /usr/lib system      SUNWpl5u                     Perl 5.6.1 (core)

After installing these package I would recommend that you disable the following svc service ‘svc:/application/x11/xfs:default’

e.g.

    svcadm disable svc:/application/x11/xfs:default
