What VNC does depends on how you have it setup. If you are running VNCServer, every VNC client that logs in will get a new X session. If you are using X11VNC (Or the "VNC" module in XFree86-Config-4), the VNC client gets a copy of the current display (In this case, the display on the TV). VNC then sends all keypresses and mouse movements to that display, and mirrors the result in a window on your monitor. Therefore, if you have X11VNC (Or the "VNC" Module) set up, you can remotely control the TV. -- Robert "Anaerin" Johnston _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
