The writer is probably correct that sharing display 0 using VNC CAN be done. I have not tried that. I got an error about an X server already running on
So far everyone is dancing around the subject. Sr. Sanchez, are you trying to connect to the host's main desktop :0 as I am? Connecting to any other desktop is of no value to me. According to http://www.realvnc.com/how.html, "For the individual user, one common scenario is using VNC to help troubleshoot the computer of a distant less-technically-savvy relative. In other words, sitting at your desk in Baltimore, you could use VNC to take control of your mother's PC in London and show her how to install and use some new software package by actually doing it yourself." Connecting to any other desktop besides :0 doesn't accomplish this. It seems at this point that serving :0 can't be done with VNC alone. I found that on the realvnc website. One person mentioned xf4vnc and that looks promising but also rather complicated so I will have to research that more Damon Register
