It sounds like you might be a bit confused by the X11 "server" vs. "client" stuff. The terminal you are running *is* the server; it's not something that can be connected and disconnected. Mozilla, KDE, xterm, etc. are all the clients of that server. There is no way to disconnect all of your X clients from your X server; they just give up and die.
In a VNC/RFB environment, your X server still never disconnects from your X clients. But your workstation (an RFB client) does disconnect from your X server. And you can connect a different RFB client to the same X server, even simultaneously if you wish. [many X clients] --> [X server] --> [your console] [many X clients] --> [VNC X server] <-- [VNC clients] Hope you get it working the way you want! - Jake On Thu, Feb 13, 2003 at 11:14:40PM -0500, Brett Jones wrote: > rfb is pretty cool, but not what I'm trying to do.
