Not really, all I know of is FreeNX and VNC. As for their refusal, is it out of pure ignorance that they don't wish to support BSD? I thought they had at one time supported FreeBSD (the assumption is based on the fact that it exists in the ports tree). Too bad, though. I tested FreeNX on a debian install (unfortunately) and the client ran smooth on my windows machine, with the unfortunate exception that it has 0 dual-monitor support in fullscreen mode. I found this though: http://www.deweyonline.com/nx/freebsd.html Highly betting that the maintainer's page for this (if that is the maintainer) that first section looks promising. The link works to download the 6.2-RELEASE version. It's possible that might work with X.Org versions later than 7.1; I haven't personally tested it myself. Btw, which FreeBSD release are you running?
