You would probably want to look at x0vnc. It allows VNC to bind to display 0 (the root display/console). According to the Debian packages it is provided by the vnc4server package.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/4/05,

Anyone have experience with these? I have a brother in St. Louis for<br>whom I've install Ubuntu 5.04 some time back. He needs occasional<br>config help. I can run tightvncserver and connect, so as to get<br>access to graphical apps on the box, but it would be even better if I
<br>can see/manipulate his root display. I don't find gemsvnc by doing<br>"apt-cache search" on my Debian box, but x11vnc is there. Is gemsvnc<br>so much better I should get the source and compile it? Or is x11vnc
<br>good enough for remote control over broadband?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Kendall<br>_______________________________________________<br>Cialug mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Cialug@cialug.org">Cialug@cialug.org</a><br><a href="http://cialug.org/mailman/listinfo/cialug">
