Hello, As others said, you can use VNC with Xorg. See the ports. However, if you want to share with VNC a display that is already active, for example the Gnome desktop you are working on, you can try 'net/x11vnc' (other VNC servers open a new display). IIRC Gnome (and/or KDE) has an utility to share the desktop, based on VNC. Best Regards, Ale
