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

Reading up it seems that XDMCP can connect to the real X display. I
can't seem to figure out how thouhg... Does anybody know hot to
configure this properly?

When I connect via Linux Termial Services Client from Windows to the
Linux box, it presents me with a login and I am able to log in.
However, the TV attached to the server shows the REAL desktop and it's
still at the login screen. Not quite what I'm looking for.

Basically, I'm looking for a really convienient way that will allow me
to control the real desktop of the FC 6 server remotely like VNC will
do when it runs as a service on a windows box.

Thanks again.

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.
