: "Ehud Karni" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : I have to disagree. I'm not sure I understand what you are disagreeing with. My suggestion was that Xvfb would suffice. Is that what you are disagreeing with, or some other point? Because I don't see anything vnc-specific in your list of steps (below). They would all work with Xvfb. What am I missing? That is, who's connecting to it via the rfb protocol; none of the steps show that, near as I can tell.
Mind you, there's nothing particularly *wrong* about doing it that way. Xvnc is a perfectly wonderful tool. I'm just saying I don't see anything vnc specific below. : I use VNC for display purpose for over 5 years, also on a web page. : : Here is what I do: : 1. Create a virtual X by using a modified vncserver script with : 3 important arguments: -alwaysshared -dontdisconnect -viewonly : (for the -viewonly argument which uses my view-only patch, see: : http://realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2000-July/015830.html, : http://www.tightvnc.com/whatsnew.html [under 1.2.5] ). : : 2. Run the needed applications (xload, xterm+top, xclock, etc.) : with display set to the virtual X created in {1}. : : 3. I use import (from the ImageMagick package) to convert the : virtual X to png like this: : import -display vncs:3 -silent -window root vnc-3.png : : 4. Since my web server is across the Atlantic, I use ftp to copy : this png to the remote server. : : You can see the result (updated every 5 minutes) at: : http://t-e-k.biz/VNC/vnc_load.html . : : Hint. You can use xsri (available on GNU/Linux and Cygwin) to set : the background of the virtual X created by VNC. : I use: xsri --tile=bg.png --set Wayne Throop [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
