AFAIK it requires special X invocation to start it, or additional vnc server program (or for the matter, a special build of X server, in Debian a separate package...) started if the session exists already - x11vnc does it for you (why would a program like Vino have to exist if this is achievable with just X ?) Additionally x11vnc / vnc X server deals with encryption so if you work it over the Internet it's useful (and in a local network it's not like it isn't useful either - otherwise e.g. all the keystrokes are sent in open text) > > Another alternative would be some variant of FPGUI, wasn't somebody > looking at that on top of the svga library? > -L. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
