Sounds like you are trying to run Xvnc as root.

}I then restarted xinit.d and the vnc3 service shows as running.įrom the WinXP client, I open the tightvnc viewer for :3 and I get the login greeter as expected. # server running on port 5902, (vnc port 3). # description: This serves out the vncviewer Java applet for the VNC \ Server_args = -noreset -inetd -once -query localhost -geometry 1600x1200 -depth 16 This VNC connection has a resolution of 1600x1200, 16bit depth. # description: This serves out a VNC connection which starts at a KDM login And the desktops disappear if the power goes away from the dual monitor machine, unlike running it on a VM in the UPS protected datacenter.Code: # default: off I EDITED OUT THE OFF It looks like Xmonad or Awesome might do this if I run it locally on the dual monitor machine, but I don't like the minimalism or tiling or the hotkeys - I prefer something like/similar to the default gnome environment (the default in Fedora 9 has been doing me just fine up to now).
Tightvnc server configuration 4 monitors how to#
I've spent ages searching for how to do this, and I've struggled even to find a window/display manager that will do this directly on the dual screen monitor setup, let alone thru a VNC session. I guess that this is like connecting multiple virtual monitors to a VNC session. When I'm at work, I have a dual monitor setup and want to be able to independently display any of the workspaces on either one of two VNC client sessions.
When I'm at home, I will have a single VNC connection to this machine and want to be able to display any of the workspaces in the single VNC client session. I need to run the desktop on a VM running CentOS and be able to create VNC connections to the desktop. I'm after advice on how best to be able to work with sharing a set of desktop workspaces between two or more monitors.
