The Jan 2002 issue of Linux Journal has an article on how to setup VNC to do as you wish (I believe).  The article is at  http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5499    Regards, Jerry Q.

That would work. I think he was trying to watch on the linux servers screen vnc client activity. If two or more connected to a session it should work. >If bevhavior you are looking for is to have somebody watch a screen >that's moving by itself you can have 2 or more vnc clients hook up to

VNC server for windoze is VERY different from VNC server for *NIX. In a nutshell VNC server for windoze is more like pcanywhere without the encryption (ssh solves that problem). VNC server for *NIX is another matter. It's more like a terminal session than anything. The desktop I believe defa

Hi Chas It sounds like a resolution issue me. I found the same problem and being to lazy to figure out what to do with vnc, changed the resolution on the vncserver to 800x600 and then was able to see the whole screen on my computer. The dispaly was slightly smaller than the my 768x1024 display

That is it exactly, as the comment on the page says : "gain desktop control of another linux box... (but not in a new session as the well known VNC do under linux, here it's windows style VNC =)" Will give it a whirl when I have a minute - just a bit concerned about the low version number (wrt

In the home folder, you have a .vnc folder. In there you have a xstartup which starts the window manager. By default it is the trvm (i believe), you can change that to what ever desktop you want. I have gnom-session& in place of it. chas wrote: >I've installed VNC on Redhat7.2 to tunnel over

VNC - possible to see the desktop as if sat in front of linux box ?

2002-01-10 Thread chas
I've installed VNC on Redhat7.2 to tunnel over SSH. All works fine - I can use the VNC client on a PC to view a desktop on a Linux box (running the VNC server). However, it's not the same desktop that is showing on the linux box - for starters, there is no panel bar on the bottom, and any GUI a
