After you get X to start with the vnc module as you have, you just use a vnc viewing program (RealVNC is common). I typically connect to this system from another Windows box on the LAN but I have done Linux to Linux (vncviewer) with a system several states away. There's also a way to set a password but I forget how I did that. I remember setting it as root since the X server starts as root. There a command that comes with the client portion of vnc, I think. Poke around.
To others reading this thread, only the newer branch of the vnc project (version 4, I think) has the vnc server module support. Looking at things, I see that version 4 is now marked stable (it wasn't when I installed it on two systems). Just a word of caution, if you connect to your own box you'll probably end up with some wacky stuff when you move your mouse, etc. It took me a while to understand that this is actually the mirror in a mirror issue. Once I connected from another system, things looked better :) On Fri, 2006-01-06 at 16:39 -0700, Tom Smith wrote: > Hi all, > > I installed "vnc" with the "server" USE flag enabled.
