I'm running vncserver on a box on our lan and I can connect to it only as display 2 as a blank X screen. But I want to be able to see what is actually being displayed on the screen on the server. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Steve.

Nothing. That's how VNC server works. If you want to see your active desktop you need to use a different server program. I use x0rbserver which does what you want. Something doesn't seem to reliable about it, but I suspect the Windows client at the other end in my case. -- "...our desktop is falling behind stability-wise and feature wise to KDE ...when I went to Mexico in December to the facility where we launched gnome, they had all switched to KDE3." - Miguel de Icaza, March 2003

You can run another instance of your WM and use that if you want: /usr/local/bin/Xvnc :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -alwaysshared -rfbauth & export DISPLAY=:1.0 /usr/local/kde/bin/startkde & Josh

Or you can use the Destop Sharing feature built into V.8.2 to share your current desktop. Ken

Hi. Can't find it anywhere. Can you point me at it? Cheers, Steve.
