Tasks are simple. It's the way you execute them that makes it hard... > > I'd like to display a user screen on my remote desktop. Sounds simlpe? In first view, it sounds simple. By second view, I don't understand... I guess: Remote machine with session at console display. Local machine tries to grabb session at console display of remote machine. > > Here is what I have: > - All machines run under Linux, and use kde as desktop system. > - I have one server on which all applications run and 5 dumb > Terminals. dumb terminal == ascii terminal X11terminal == terminal with X11 windowing system running on server. > - I dial in from an other Linux machine via pppd.

These dumb terminals are not that dumb, they are X11-terminals. RIGHT? > > All my current tries were not succesful (Thanks Tim). Starter: The default VNC distributions on unix cannot take over the console display of unix/X11 sessions. The default VNC distributions on unix create a new, fresh, independent X11 session. To be able to take-over X11 sessions at the console display (of linux machines) try http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ or http://www.hexonet.de/software/x0rfbserver/. You have to install and configure one of them at the linux boxes. For the X11-terminals, you're out of luck here. (but read on). IF you want to be able to take over the sessions at the terminals, you should set them up the way vnc origionally intended to be: Run Xvnc or vnc-server at the servers and use vncviewer, in full-screen mode on the terminals. Besides the advantage of be-ing able to take the sessions over, you also have a (much) lower bandwidth requirement. For details on this, i'm sorry, i cannot help you.
