That might be a problem when you want to use kde or gnome? And I thought vnc sends a copy of what is displayed on the screen, so if you were running a program that renders something on the screen and uses/requires a graphics card for that, you should be able to see what it renders. If you can't see that, vnc is of very limited use. How does RDP deal with this?
