There are several pages to google on tunneling it thru ssh, and it's much better with latency than sending x iteslf over ssh, I'm told. If you start x11vnc with no options, it will export the current session/desktop, but there is a switch to have it spawn a new x session also. All the other vnc ports only spawn new sessions, and I usually use it to help my wife fix problems when I'm away at the office ;) Best, Steve On Dec 24, 2007 9:05 AM, Jonathan Horne wrote: > i have been wanting to set up the ability to open an entirely new x session to > another box, in a window of my currently running session. xnest is one way > of doing this, but i was wondering if there are any others (perhaps, a little > easier to configure and get going) ? > > cheers, > -- > Jonathan Horne > http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org > freebsd@dfwlp.com > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Steve Franks, KE7BTE Staff Engineer La Palma Devices, LLC http://www.lapalmadevices.com (520) 312-0089
