Xvnc can be used to display local X-clients - start a vncserver process and view it locally with the aqua (or java) vnc viewer. Sort of like XFree86 in a window. Works just fine for this purpose, although it is based on an older version of XFree86 (3.3.6) so it is missing a few extensions (most notably OpenGL). It cannot be used to export the current XDarwin session (rootless or fullscreen) to remote users. Nor can it be used to export any Aqua stuff (you need OSXvnc for that). > > For X-Windows on OSX/Darwin, the main choices are XDarwin & OroborOSX -- > which in recent versions embeds part of XDarwin anyway.

Recent versions include a custom XDarwin. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
