Just: configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install Then I added this line to my ~/.initrc: x11vnc -display :0 -loop -shared -usepw -xkb & Start it once with -storepasswd to create the ~/.vnc/passwd file. I also added a startupscript with this line: /bin/su - thomas --command "startx &" and made a link to it in /etc/rc.d/rc?.d. Last thing I had to do was enabling port-forwarding for port 5900 on my NATting router. I don't use a firewall on the PC itself, if you do, you have to open port 5900 of course. Now I have access to my desktop from anywhere on the Internet.
