Re: Configuring GNOME to automatically start screensaver after user logged in - Fedora Core 6

This seems to work very similar to a VNC server. It uses what appears
to be a virtual display. I'm looking for something that will allow me
the control the real X display... the desktop you would see if you had
a monitor connected directly to the video card output.

Thanks.

Just a wild guess, but this might be what you're looking for:

Check the section "Running VNC as your "desktop""


Go for xdcmcp and enable remote login from other machines.
System -> Administrator -> Login Screen

This allows you to login from a remote machine with F10 and selecting
the machine (if they are in the same network). I use this all the time.
All other seem to work easy but sound is muted.
