Just a little problem...
I launch the vncserver on the linux server and the vncviewer (command vncviewer with 
the "shared connections" option) on the linux server and the windows client. When I 
use the mouse on the desktop, it's runs perfectly but when I use the keyboard 
sometimes juste a touch and the vncviewer scratch down. I have tried with the 
vncviewer 3.3.7 and 4.0b5 and it's the same problem.
 
Thanks for your help

What you indicate is standard behavoure of VNC on all platforms, except on 
M$Windows platforms, where by default only 1 instance of vncserver can run, 
which unfortunatly has to interact with the console.

If you want to see the same picture both local and remote, there are several 
options. The most easy one is to also connect ot vnc from the console: at the 
console, do `vncviewer localhost:1` and see what can also be seen at the remote 
side.

If you want to see the entire console in a vncviewer, there is a module for the 
newer versions of XFree86 that can forward the entire desktop, there is an 
application in KDE that can forward the KDE desktop and there is a vnc-server 
that can forward the framebuffer device if that is used at the console.

Then see my attached message on how to use VNC to fake a graphical console on a 
headlesss or text-only server...

Check the websites and the mailarchive for details.

For what its workt: vnc also can handle XDMCP, see 
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp for how to configure that.

This is a description on how to use Xvnc as the Xserver. It is jet an other way 
to create an always running vnc session on unix/linux. It is based on RedHat 9 
but I think it can easy be moved to every unix that has a Xvnc binary.

My goal was to create a linux server that has a text console (for RedHat: as if 
running in runlevel 3) but still has gdm available (actually running runlevel 
5). Roughly, I just replaced the Xserver (XFree86 on linux) with Xvnc.

I first installed the vncserver packages from the distribution and start 
`vncserver` at least once to have a vnc password file.

Then (sidestep) I installed 
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp. I don't expect it is 
needed but for me it is the reason to run in runlevel 5 and not in runlevel 3.

The real work is in getting Xvnc used as an Xterminal that runs on the same 
host. For GNOME (gdm) users: edit '/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf':
- disable VTAllocation (about line 104)
#VTAllocation=true
VTAllocation=false
- add server definitions (at the end, the double inserted lines are continuation 
of the previous line, combine them.)
[server-ROOTVNC]
# vncsession, using vncpassword from root
name=ROOTVNC server
flexible=false
command=/usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 -rfbwait 120000
-rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd
[server-FREEVNC]
# vncsession, using no vncpassword
name=FREEVNC server
flexible=false
command=/usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 -rfbwait 120000
-alwaysshared -dontdisconnect
- in the [servers] section, add and/or replace lines that indicate an Xserver:
# disable the X session on the console
#0=Standard
# use roots vncsession on :0
0=ROOTVNC
# use the free-access vncsession on :4
4=FREEVNC
Now restart gnome (or the entire machine) and see the console stays in its text 
mode and there are 2 vnc sessions running: ONe at `vncviewer machine:0` that 
uses the vncpassword of root and an other one at `vncviewer machine:4` that has 
no vncpassword. All provide a login session.

To get the same setup with a KDE or XDM session, it is even simpler. Edit 
'/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers': add the next lines (and comment out all others). 
WRAPWARNING: each line is either comment or it starts with the same word as it 
ends (:0 to :0 and :4 to :4).
# disable the X session on the console
#:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
# vncsession :0, using vncpassword from root.
:0 ROOTVNC local /usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 -rfbwait
120000 -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd :0
# vncsession :4, no vncpassword.
:4 FREEVNC local /usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 -rfbwait
120000 -alwaysshared -dontdisconnect :4

Now restart the display manager (or the machine) and...


Detail, if you want to keep the X11 server on the console (not have the :0 vnc 
session): you might need to add '-vt7' to the 'command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -vt7' line.


If I can find some time, I might put this description on a website some time. If 
others want to do so, please do. If I come acros any other system (HP-UX might 
be the first) I might mail an update. Be free to test it on any other system. 
Most likely you only need to update the Xservers file according the above 
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers description.
