Ok, where do I find out the proper font path to use? I guess you mean
add it to the Xvnc startup line.
I may be doing this all wrong. My goal was to have an xserver which I
could use at any workstation on the lan, but I am principally sitting
in front of the Sun.
I tried to compile that x0rfbserver in rfb-0.1.2, but it didn't
compile straight out of the box and didn't sink a lot of time into
it. It looked like that would certainly solve most of my problems
because I wouldn't have to start Xvnc on the Sun, I could just use
Xsun I think.
I played with vnc a bit and realized I could start it in full screen
mode. However, if I were to use it as my principal desktop, why would
I want to have a full screen desktop on top of some other desktop
complete with window manager that I'd never use. So, I figured I
could just log into the Sun under the "failsafe" mode which basically
starts nothing, then I could fire up vncviewer in full screen mode and
work away. It seemed like there would be less things running that
way.
In principal, this works. Maybe there's a better way to do this?
