Dear Gentoo users, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm having VNC-related problems. |
4 |
I want to make VNC'ing work the following: |
5 |
|
6 |
I have a Gentoo desktop box with gdm+gnome, only one user. I'm using X |
7 |
on DISPLAY:0 0-24/7 all the time. If I'm not sitting in front of the |
8 |
box, I lock the session with the corresponding Gnome menu. So, X |
9 |
DISPLAY:0 is always active with my Gnome desktop (sometimes locked, |
10 |
thats all). |
11 |
|
12 |
I have another machine with Windows XP. (Just on a little partition, I |
13 |
want to install Linux on the remaining 70GB.) |
14 |
>From this machine I want to connect using VNC to the gentoo desktop. |
15 |
I've read the corresponding howtos on gentoo-wiki.org, with no success. |
16 |
What works: I can connect to the Gentoo box using VNC, but it opens |
17 |
DISPLAY:1 and starts an X session with TWM, instead of opening my |
18 |
existing X session on DISPLAY:0 |
19 |
|
20 |
All in all: I want to connect (using TightVNC Win32) to the existing |
21 |
DISPLAY:0 (gnome) session. Is it possible? |
22 |
If isn't, the following will do: |
23 |
|
24 |
a GDM session opens in my VNC window, and I can login to my account into |
25 |
gnome. With existing user, with existing home folder. |
26 |
|
27 |
I hope I was clear. Sorry for my English, I'm from Hungary. |

Thanks in advance! |
