Build VirtualBox with VNC support, then VBoxHeadless --startvm test --vnc --vncpass myvncpassword Then use a VNC viewer to connect. Thanks a lot! Worked perfectly! I just realized the "rdesktop" command I attempted to connect to that vnc before is NOT a vnc viewer :-( And it's easy to tunnel the vnc traffic over ssh. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
