If you suspect an X11 permissions problem do this simple test: while

finally says something like:
|
|
|
|
sitting at the physical X display open a terminal window
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

(gnome-terminal, xterm, etc). You should be able to start x11vnc

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
without any need for command line options in that terminal. If that

|
|

it from working when you try to start x11vnc via a remote shell.
