I have a FreeBSD 4.4 box set up at work and can manage it via SSH. Thought I would install VNC and check that out and see how it worked on Unix... was able to get it installed and logged in without much trouble. I was only at the command line, though, since I hadn't set up an Xserver or XClient yet, I figured I would so I could get a graphical window via VNC. So I used /stand/sysinstall to try to set up my Xserver (had to use command line mode since I couldn't get a graphical display) and then installed KDE. I log in with VNC again, am at command line... run startx but I don't think my Xserver is set up right. Anyway, my question is, you CAN use VNC to view your Xdesktop if you have it installed and running correctly, correct?
