Umm... Wouldn't this result in VNC displaying the screen from the X session in question (i.e., the show being played back) on the device running the VNC client? (Or at least trying to... I can't imagine that trying to send a gazillion X updates for real-time video would work at all well.) Seems to me that MythWifi is at least on the right track, although I question whether the use of a web interface (as opposed to a native client application) will provide close- enough-to-real-time control for skip forward/back operations under all conditions. Have to give it a try and see how it works for me... (Disclaimer: I've used VNC servers running on Windows quite a bit, but never the VNC server for X. I'm assuming that a VNC client will display the same thing as the X session that it's attached to, since seeing the same thing on both client and server is kind of the point of VNC, but I could be wrong in that assumption.) -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html)
