You are quite right - I have SuSE 8 Standard Server and VNC comes
pre-installed. I run the server and can connect from a PC client but I get
another desktop - not the same one as the user of the Linux PC. In other
words the user and myself are not seeing the same thiong. When I control
the PC remotley I want the user to see the mouse moving and the WIndows
opening etc.

As I understand it, the X server will do what it did for you. MS Windows
Remote Desktop Protocol is similar in that it makes a new instance for you.
You can run run a vnc viewer to connect to a vnc server on your linux box.
That being the case, you would need to run a vnc server on your linux box.

though I know that SUSE 9.0 and 9.1, with KDE, came with a vnc server
already.

Subject: [suse-xfree86] VNC Viewer - Viewing a remote X-Windows desktop
List,
I first used VNC Viewer under Windows and was impressed by its
effectiveness for remote assistance, and its free. I like the fact that the
user at the PC and myself can both view the same desktop - me remotley and
the user at the computer.
I have recentley used VNC Server and Viewer under Linux. Works fine but how
do I view the remote desktop currentley used by the user at the PC? When I
VNC into the Linux box I get to see the desktop - however it is a different
(new?) desktop - not the one currenly used by the user at the Linux PC.
Is it possible to replicate the functionality provided by default under
WIndows where both users see the same desktop? Does the X Windows server
support this?
Thanks in advance..
