Hi,
Having gotten Debain wheezy running on my BeagleBoard C4, I'm now
trying to configure VNC on the board so I can connect remotely from my
Windows PC. I have installed the following packages:
1) tightvncserver (1.3.9-6.2).
2) matchbox-window-manager.
I have been able to start the vncserver on the BeagleBoard and can
connect to the board using VNC viewer from my windows PC however all I
see if a grey screen no desktop. I the following in the xstartup file
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
#x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP
Desktop" &
#x-window-manager &
# Fix to make GNOME work
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
/etc/X11/Xsession
exec gnome-session &
I've looked in the vncserver log see below:

/root/.vnc/xstartup: 10: exec: gnome-session: not found
and can see that gnome-session doesn't exsist so my question is what
desktop session should I use or have I gone about this in the wrong
way?
Thanks
