Resetting the shell configuration
Some kinds of changes to ~/.cshrc and ~/.login (or other shell configuration files) may break VNC; in particular, setting up the environment for certain applications (e.g., Cadence) according to instructions is known to cause problems. You can restore the default shell configuration by running updaterc.
/usr/pubsw/bin/updaterc
Resetting VNC state and configuration
A common troubleshooting method is to reset the VNC configuration by deleting the ~/.vnc application directory.
rm -rf ~/.vnc mkdir ~/.vnc vncpasswd
