I cant help you exactly with your problem - if there is one... BUT... I can tell you that VNC on linux is much different to that on windows. On linux it is much like a TERMINAL and on windows, you control the local mouse and keyboard. If you want to control the local mouse and keyboard, so the mouse moves on the local screen when the VNC mouse moves - mandrake made some sort of remote desktop app that uses VNC to control the local K&M. Now - with the linux VNC, it uses a pretty primitive window manager (nothing flashy is the aim), to get the menu, I think it's a right click.. You should then get the normal X menu.. I think?? Hope that helps - sorry if you already knew. Cheers, AW. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
