Althoug a little off topic, I'm trying to do the following with a Linux DAW... I want to use this box live without mouse, monitor or keyboard. I'm running MDK 10.0, 2.6.5 Kernel. I want to boot it anf log into it with VNC or similar from my Win XP laptop probably using 100MB lan cards on both. I have VNC setup to fire up on boot. I can get a login on screen " :1 " but when I try to run Jack, it seems not to see the alsa drivers correctly. Is it because other X server desktops don't have the machine privileges that the default 0 screen has? I have everything working fine on a regular login on the local box... Any Xvnc gurus out there. I am not locked into vnc either...if there is something better for the outlined purpose, I'm up for that too. I dont mind which GUI I use...I have Xfce4, Blackbox, iceWM, fluxbox, etc,etc. Thnx R~
