After you get X to start with the vnc module as you have, you just use a |
2 |
vnc viewing program (RealVNC is common). I typically connect to this |
3 |
system from another Windows box on the LAN but I have done Linux to |
4 |
Linux (vncviewer) with a system several states away. There's also a way |
5 |
to set a password but I forget how I did that. I remember setting it as |
6 |
root since the X server starts as root. There a command that comes with |
7 |
the client portion of vnc, I think. Poke around. |

To others reading this thread, only the newer branch of the vnc project |
10 |
(version 4, I think) has the vnc server module support. Looking at |
11 |
things, I see that version 4 is now marked stable (it wasn't when I |
12 |
installed it on two systems). |

Just a word of caution, if you connect to your own box you'll probably |
15 |
end up with some wacky stuff when you move your mouse, etc. It took me a |
16 |
while to understand that this is actually the mirror in a mirror issue. |

Once I connected from another system, things looked better :) |
