i recently read a nifty article at:
http://linux.com/tuneup/database.phtml/X11/000760.html
it discusses using xtv to monitor other x-sessions elsewhere
on a network. i invision a cool smaller window with snapshots
of the desktop every 5 secs. sounded kind of interesting, if
nothing else worth playing with.
i finally found the source on metalab's ftp in the X11 utilities,
(note: xtv is NOT on freshmeat) but when compiling it tries to
-lsun, and i have no libsun anywhere. i can not find libsun.
i only seem mentions of libsun in a SunOS context when i
searched the net.
the author of the article said he just used a deb file to install it
on his machine; i tried to use apt-get install xtx but only errored
out with dependency issues needing libc5. i'm not reverting to
libc5 to use this, and can't believe such a cool sounding program
has seemingly been abandoned.
anyone have any ideas? is there a better utility out there that does
this and is more widespead? anyone have libsun?
