don't know how x2vnc works, since I've never tried it. but realvnc worked like a charm for me.

| the versions in portage for vnc 3.x.x is somewhat old and I never had good results. With version 4 from www.realvnc.com I just manually installed it. If all you want is to see your current xsession then you don't even need the "server", just copy over the x11 plug and "load" it in your X config file |

Great ASIO_BOB,
Just what exactly do I do to make this work?
Where is the x11 plug and how do it load it?

unmerge any realvnc stuff you already have.
Download http://www.realvnc.com/dist/vnc-4.0-x86_linux.tar.gz
untar into a tmp dir, cd into it, run as root
| Code: |
./vncinstall /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man |
now in your XF86Config file or xorg.conf depending on if you use Xfree86 r xorg just add
in the module section of the file.
and add | Code: | | Option "passwordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd" |
in the Scren section.
finally run vncpasswd as root to set a password.
Then connect using your favorite client to screen :0
eg, ipaddress:5900 |
