Dear Gentoo users, I'm having VNC-related problems. I want to make VNC'ing work the following:
I have a Gentoo desktop box with gdm+gnome, only one user. I'm using X on DISPLAY:0 0-24/7 all the time. If I'm not sitting in front of the box, I lock the session with the corresponding Gnome menu. So, X DISPLAY:0 is always active with my Gnome desktop (sometimes locked, thats all). I have another machine with Windows XP. (Just on a little partition, I want to install Linux on the remaining 70GB.) >From this machine I want to connect using VNC to the gentoo desktop. I've read the corresponding howtos on gentoo-wiki.org, with no success. What works: I can connect to the Gentoo box using VNC, but it opens DISPLAY:1 and starts an X session with TWM, instead of opening my existing X session on DISPLAY:0 All in all: I want to connect (using TightVNC Win32) to the existing DISPLAY:0 (gnome) session. Is it possible? If isn't, the following will do: a GDM session opens in my VNC window, and I can login to my account into gnome. With existing user, with existing home folder. I hope I was clear. Sorry for my English, I'm from Hungary. Thanks in advance! Gyuszk -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
