It's a feature of KDE.... Otherwise VNC's have a hard time exporting a real GUI (as running on a graphic card)... But KDE copied Windows remote desktop (or was it the other way around?)
Well, sort of. Actually it's an integration of a hack called x0rfbserver that you'll find in the rfb package. That'll work on any desktop
But you would do yourself a huge favour by looking at the NX stuff instead of plain VNC. The performance is just so much better. There are suse packages available that work nicely, although perhaps not so polished yet (required a little laying on of hands to get running when I installed it), but the performance is so good that it really is worth it.
You get get the server and client packages for SuSE from the supplementary/X/NX directory, and there is a windows client available gratis on www.nomachine.com
Hmmm, what is the liscencing on the NX stuff...
LGPL, as far as I can see, on the linux stuff, the windows client I have no idea, I haven't looked at it myself but it was a gratis download
I watched NoMachine for years, they where allways the best, but too expensive for my tastes (well at least for my wallet 8-)...
gratis? You must have a pretty small wallet :)
There seem to be some sort of server for sale on the nomachine.com, but I'm not altogether sure what it does. The free stuff available for download seem to do everything. I can't find a good description of the difference between the commercial and the GPL product on the web site, but then I haven't looked very much either. The GPL stuff does all I need it for
So many bits to NX, I wonder if there is a minimum you can get away with using. I downloaded nxcomp-1.3.2-4.tar.gz, nxcompext-1.3.2-6.tar.gz, nxrun-1.3.2-1.tar.gz and nx-X11-1.3.2-9.tar.gz, so far I haven't got back to it. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
