 |
|
| Is there a way to set up my VNC server to run under screen 0 (:0)? I'd like to be able to connect to my main pc remotely and not through a whole other X session. Thanks. |

If you're using tightvnc, then yes (I'm not familiar with other vncservers). Read the manual, it's like...the first entry. vncserver :display.

| The version 4 of realvnc should be able to you install an X11 module and configure it in your X config |

Thats exactly what I would like to do. Everytime I use realvnc 4, it starts up with X's crap window software, but I want it to start up with KDE. Anyone know where the init file for it is? |

WHAT'S WRONG WITH TWM?
And no, I don't know where the init file is.
However:
| Code: |
killall twm && <start_other_window_manager> &

And put this in ~/.vnc/xstartup:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
startkde &

P.S. Your aim was to use KDE in VNC, I think. But, if you're still interested in accessing a current running X session (:0) remotely through VNC, there is a way to do that, too. Don't remember though, but already answered - search the forum and/or gentoo-wiki for the answer( http://gentoo-wiki.com/). |

On my laptop, I use ssh to address my desktop box, which, obsiously, run a ssh server. Then, I remotely launch x0vncserver (it comes along with vnc) on the desktop box and make it acquire the already started display. On my laptop, I use tigthtvnc to have a hand on my desktop box.
I guess this is what you're looking for:
| Code: | #On the laptop
ssh USER@DESKTOP x0vncserver PasswordFile=~/.vnc/passwd display=:0.0 |
Don't forget to generate the password file on the desktop box.
