@Tim - re comment #145: Thanks for that: "You can gain access remotely by SSH'ing to the device and running: DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace &"
That works. However there is a problem when switching the target machine back to compiz. I have three workspaces on the target & switch it back using: DISPLAY=:0 compiz --replace & Window Switcher defaults to only 2 workspaces. Checking preferences on WS on the target machine still shows 3 workspaces, but only 2 are available. The only way to get it back to three (as far as I can figure out) is for the target to use System|Preferences|Appearance|None then Extra. Following that the original 3 workspaces are restored. Any suggestions on what to change in 'DISPLAY=:0 compiz --replace &' to restore the original number of workspaces? -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
