Thanks for the help, but I haven't solved it yet. I don't know if I got to understand it, let me try to explain my vision:
-desktop: My machine where I am running the VNC client. Is a Fedora Core 3 machine. -host: The remote machine that has the VNC server and the VMWare Workstation software installed. Is a Fedora Core 3 machine. -Guest: Is the Windows XP running over VMWare on the host machine. The think is that I don't have physical access to the host machine. Let me go step by step: > My advice was to start VMWare on the console of the > host, not inside a > VNC-session. I guess that I have to do that using ssh. So I do: [desktop#] ssh host And once having a shell in host, I do: [host#] vmware Well the thing is that I have XForwarding enabled so If I do this the VMWare appears in my screen (in desktop), but I can not use fullscreen mode either. So is there anyway from ssh to make the VMWare appear in the local X server? I tried the following but I got an error: [host#] vmware --display=localhost:0.0 Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:0.0 Another thing is that when I open an ssh session I have $DISPLAY=localhost:10.0, I think this is for the XForwarding, I am not sure if this affects or not to the problem. Ok the second step is, if I get to remotely run vmware on the local display, make the local display available through VNC. Then use > http://www.realvnc.com/v4/x0.html to gain access > using vnc. The webpage you told me says that there are several ways to make the local X server available trhough VNC: 1. If the local X server is XFree86 version 4, they explain how to do it, I have the Xorg version 6.8 X server in the host machine, I think is quite close to the XFree86, so I don't know If what they explain would apply in my case. 2. Use of x0vncserver, this is less efficient but you don't have to modify anything, this x0vncserver can make any X server available through VNC. So I decided to try for this one, In the ssh session I had opened with the host machine I try: [host]# x0vncserver -display localhost:0.0 x0vncserver: unable to open display "localhost:0.0" And to try something else, I tried: [host]# x0vncserver -display=localhost:10.0 Mon Feb 21 12:06:46 2005 main: XTest extension not present main: unable to inject events or display while server is grabbed X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 73 (X_GetImage) Resource id in failed request: 0x3f Serial number of failed request: 9 Current serial number in output stream: 9 But as you can see I got an error as well. So I am a little bit losed ... but am I in the right direction or I completely misunderstood everything ?
