Next On The Checklist - VNC
Okay, I just installed the VNC package and successfully accessed a KDE
desktop from my Windows-98 system. And I must say, I became instantly
enamored with VNC. However, I now have a bunch of questions.
1: Every time I connect, I always get root's desktop by default. How do
I configure vncserver to access a normal non-root user's desktop instead?
2: The VNC session always gives me the KDE desktop. However, I would
like to run other desktops as well (GNOME in particular). Is there any
way to state which Window Manager gets used each VNC session?
3: My VNC desktop always comes up at 640x480. How do I get it to come
up at a higher resolution? When logged into an X-Session directly at the
console, I have 800x600 as my resolution, and my Windows system is set
for 1024x768.
4: I also went ahead and installed a vnc server on my Windows-98 system.
Now, how do I connect to that one from the Linux box?
All in all, I think I will eventually be extremely pleased with VNC, once
I get the finer details ironed out. This looks like it could be one of
the most useful open source packages ever conceived. :D
