Alan, if I understand correctly, x11vnc is not for that. You might want to look at tight vnc or another.

The way I use it is this... I have my user that runs rivendell set to auto log in. I have a file in that users ~/.config/autostart which will start x11vnc for that user on boot/audologin. I also have other things configured there that will bring the station up and get music playing. I then set up ssh with tunnels so that I can ssh into the box and then run a vnc viewer to connect to the running x11vnc instance. I will be seeing the same thing remotely as a user sitting at the screen in the studio... There are, of course, other ways to play this game and I have done so in the past.
