I have had no problems with this since I first tried it in 8.1 (I think). I simply select "Desktop Sharing" from the SuSE KDE menu, it allows me to do an invitation to a host to connect to 192.168.10:0 and gives me a password to use on this machine, plus enable me to use keyboard and mouse. I came over to this machine (192.168.10.3) and selected "Remote Desktop connection", picked 192.168.10.1:0 and the password. So I'm sending this using the Mandrake box as keyboard and screen. Currently the two boxes are SuSE 9.0 and Mandrake 9.1, but I've done this on 8.2 also, right here in my shack. Everything needed was installed by default on both Mandrake and SuSE builds.

It is amazing just how much functionality is available 'out of the box'. It far outdoes WindowsXP ;)
The problem is that this seems to be a very recent development. In trying to find that kdenetwork3-vnc that a few mentioned earlier it appears in a more recent kde than is with SuSE 8.0. I am not an expert here but I suspect that one cannot take a module from one version of kde and stick it into an older one. Therefore I would likely have to upgrade kde which seems like a difficult task. From all of the kde upgrade discussions I have seen here in the past, I don't think I want to tackle that. While it might very well outdo XP out of the box, I am still disappointed that it took so long to get to a point that has existed in Windows for years.
Even though my SuSE 9.0 may arrive soon and this issue might be overcome by events, I can't accept being beaten so I will pursue this. It seems that xf4vnc is the only hope for older kde that doesn't have kdenetwork3-vnc. If anyone has had experience with xf4vnc with display :0 on SuSE, I would like to hear from you.
