Turns out the "rfb" package is included with SuSE 8.0. Installed it and it gives me both the x0rfbserver and xrfbviewer. Works great. Couldn't find any documentation on how to operate it, but just executed the programs and is was rather intuitive on how to get it going. Art On Sun, 2002-08-25 at 11:26, Andy Stewart wrote:

No, that is not quite what I had in mind. I wanted so that if my wife had problems on her computer, I could connect with mine and show her by taking over her desktop which she could also operate. Would keep me from running up and down stairs all of the time.
Look on the VNC site. I seem to remember under the links or contributions someone had written a tool to allowed you to export a running X session on the box to vnc.
After looking on the VNC website, I discovered a tool called x0rfbserver, which will take an existing display and "export" it such that a remote VNC viewer can see it. I think this is the tool that Art is seeking.
The URL is:

I tried it out and it made my :0 display available to a VNC viewer on another machine on my home network.
