My system: Fedora Core 7 Xorg v1.3.0 (Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3) Linux 2.6.22.4 I am running VNC by loading the "vnc" module via xorg.conf. It all works well, with a few issues. 1) On my remote machine, the monitor is smaller than the monitor directly attached to the VNC host, so I end up with vertical/horizontal scrollbars. Usable, but annoying. So, I added another Screen stanza in my xorg.conf with the "Modes" set to the display size I want. Here's the relevent info: Then, I simply run, from the command line, "startx -- :8 -screen Screen1". This starts a new KDE session on display :8 with my specified resolution. Now I can connect my remote machine to either :0 or :8 depending on which display I want. Very cool. However - I'd like :8 to be started at bootup, and request login, or at least don't start as "root". How do I go about doing that? 2) When I connect my vnc client to the vnc server machine, I get a black screen. For some reason, I have to go to my vnc server machine, and switch to desktop 8 (Alt-Ctrl-F8) and then the screen displays on my vnc client. Shouldn't this happen automatically? What am I missing? -- <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-Jay </pre> </body> </html>
