I'm not very knowledgeable in the areas of X, X servers and clients. I have a setup like this: 1. FreeBSD server 2. FreeBSD Workstation with only monitor, not keyboard, no mouse 3. Windows XP Complete workstation with an X-win32 On workstation 2 I'm running X and an auto started image viewer that shows a slideshow. Today when I want to show another set of images I'll have to add/remove images from a designated folder and then restart the whole machine. Everything done via SSH to the client. I would prefer being able to just shutdown/start up the image viewer software in that particular X session. I installed VNC server on the client, but it only served me with yet another X session, not the particular sceen shown on the monitor. I certainly could need some help here.
