I noticed that some VNC clients (like TigerVNC's vncviewer) require me to authenticate 3x: first the system-wide VNC password, then I get the Mac's login manager/screen, and then I have to unlock my own session (screensaver password). On others the login manager step is skipped. >I think one could have an X11 desktop (on a non-Mac) that used the >conventional X11 server but with additional VNC support (module? I forget how >it works) The easiest way is to run x11vnc. TigerVNC has a better version called x0vncserver which does the same thing: when a client is connected it snoops the entire screen and sends over the changed portions (it uses XDamage IIRC). BTW, Qt has a VNC QPA (platform module) which causes applications to render to/as a VNC server. That's really mostly meant for embedded/firmware application on headless systems that don't really need to present dialog or open other windows, but it works. From what I read here it's a pity they haven't done the same for RDP as apparently that would allow multiple windows/dialogs to open. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
