You could try to connect it to an Xvfb (X server that just uses a virtual undisplayed framebuffer) - I have no idea if this would actually work. Alternatively you could just run an Xvnc + x11vnc on it, and have two ports to connect to it. > 4.

The first google result for "dmx/external" returns a web page that lists vnc-software-scaling.patch It is for vncviewer 3.3.7 but perhaps you could adapt the patch to apply to the vncviewer in 4.1.1 (and thus have a lightweight vncviewr that still supports software scaling). > > -- > Dipl.-Phys.
