Hi
Does anyone know if it's possible to set vnc up so that the desktop I
see on my pc is the same as the one I see on VNC
Currently the only solution is having to seperate X servers running
I use the following command:
vncserver :1 -httpd /usr/share/vnc/classes
to get vnc up and running
Either in hte console put a after the comand ie
amsn
Or press alt + F2 and type in amsn in the window that appears
