Does anyone know of a solution (linux based preferred, others considered) to push my desktop to a waiting remote PC?
Kind of like a "reverse vnc", where the other side doesn't have to request my display, but rather I just give it to him? <snip>
Yah, VNC does exactly that. You can run the vncviewer listening server. This does exactly what you want. I haven't tried this on linux so I'm not sure whether they have a viewer server or not. Did it on windoze w/ realvnc, tridiavnc, and a couple others I've used in the past. -- Thanks, Dan Registered Linux User #373395
Yo, works in linux also.... What you need to do is start a vncviewer "in listen mode" on the projector. Then you can connect to it from your desktop by issuing vncserver --connect <projector-ip>:<displayno> I use this all the time. All my family and most my friends have Icons on thier desktops called "Screen to Jerry". When they double-click it I get a thier screen to help them out with. This method gets around thier firewalls, and dynamic Ip address stuff... Jerry
