The frustrating thing is I used to do this without much of an issue when I would setup arch in virtualbox for building Trinity (before I found the archroot magic). I used 'rdesktop', e.g.: rdesktop myhost.mydomain.com -u david -g 1280x800 -E -x l & (or '-x b' for broadband) This allowed connection to either kdm or windows (with remote desktop connections enabled, and e.g. port 3389 forwarded to myhost). Where I'm getting senile is I do not recall doing anything special to the display manager to allow connections with rdesktop. I do recall using tightvnc-server. So it looks like today for Arch that means TigerVNC: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TigerVNC This looks like what I needed. I'll let you know how it pans out. If there are any EXSI specific quirks, I'll note them in the wiki. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
