An X server serves one or more people in one place, while a VNC server typically serves just one person that might be moving around. But in the case of Xvnc, it might be used either way. I was looking at it as a way to run old stupid apps that only worked with an 8-bit visual as the default, when I would prefer to run with a 24-bit visual as the default. That meant that I was using vncviewer and vncserver in the same place, and I wanted to be able to exit the VNC "desktop" in a familiar manner rather than by manually running a separate command. So what I did (at least in what it offers, if perhaps not in the details of how I did it) makes sense to me, in that it caters to either sort of use of Xvnc. -- ftp> get |fortune 377 I/O error: smart remark generator failed Bogonics: the primary language inside the Beltway mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.smart.net/~rlhamil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
