Hence by loading the vnc module in the xorg.conf file (as i have been doing for many years) then as soon as X starts it is possible to view that session from afar and log in on as if you were at the screen on the machine itself. The ONLY way I know to do this is to load the vnc module in xorg.conf.... starting the vncserver would presumably allow you to make a remote X session visible from another machine but this would not be the primary console session on the server machine where vncserver is running? I asked this same question some time ago concerning freenx where it seems that the same confusion arises. I never did get any direct advice on how to achieve desktop sharing between the primary desktop (including the login greeter before and after the user login) and a remote machine seeing the same desktop as a window on its own desktop session. Please do enlighten me? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/life-without-system-config-display-tp21513160p21532089.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
