Hello,
I could install gdm with Xorg and vnc.so module loaded. This is fine,
now I can access that X server with vnc. The problem is that the Xorg
server needs a video card. So if somebody connects a montior to that
server while I'm working from home then he/she will see what I'm doing.
(I cannot restrict physical access to that computer, but I do not want
others to see my desktop...)
My idea is to create a virtual framebuffer server with Xvfb, and load
vnc.so module there. Since vnc.so can be password protected, in theory,
nobody will have access to that X session, except me. But I cannot do
this. Xvfb(1) tells me that it has the same options that Xserver(1) has.
The Xserver(1) does not tell me anything about loadable modules, but X
is a symlink to Xorg. Well, Xorg has a -config option but Xvfb does not.
:-( Does it mean that I cannot load "vnc.so" into the virtual
framebuffer server?
Is there a better solution?
In my dreams:
1. I would run a virtual X server, that is not visible directly (not
requiring any video card)
2. I would access this X server with some program remotely (preferrably VNC)
3. This remote access needs to be secure to some extent
4. This remote access should be fast enough to use through a DSL connection
Can my dreams come true?
Thanks,
Laszlo
