Using the VNC option
Hello,
I'm a little stumped in running the -vnc option for KVM. I am unable to connect my vncviewer. Even just running through localhost won't work. I specify -vnc localhost:5001, but vncviewer won't connect. Can someone point me to a simple example of using the vnc option. The man page refers to a "display" as the argument to -vnc, I'm unclear what this means.
Thanks,
Cam

The argument is not a TCP port.

It has the same meaning as "display" in the X world. Start KVM with -vnc :0 (or :1, :2, etc. - in this way you can manage multiple independent VMs), then connect with vncviewer :0 (or 123.123.123.123:0 for remote connections).
