Hello,
I think the best solution to have multiple screens
display the same image would be VNC (so not directly X concerned).
To watch other screens like your students', you
have more ways :
- one is to use a vnc server again, on each client
- the other is to have unprotected (or not protected for you, at
least) screens, with which you can connect and watch the whole screen (with e.g.
xtv)
You can then investigate using simple Xterminals for the latter
solution

Subject: [Xpert]Using X in a classroom
environment
Hello,
I am currently investigating the possible usage of
Linux and X in a classroom
setting.
For educational
purposes, the following should be necessary :
- Each student a PC on which access and usage is restricted, fairly
trivial with Linux
But for the
usage of X :
- Teacher able to
have the display of a student remotely displayed at his own station
- Teacher able to take over all displays of
students for demonstration purposes
I have found references to such possibilities on the internet, but not
in relationship to
XFree86.
Do these possibilities exist ? Have they
been implemented ? Can Linux/XFree86 be
easily configured out of the box for these possibilities ?
Regards,
Jurgen Defurne
