How about VNC?

X tricks

by brad

Hi All, I was wondering if there is a way to create a window that would be a tunnel into another X server. For example if i'm running a server on :0 and on :1, i would like to have a window, which is connected to :0, that would show what is being displayed on :1. This is similar to how vmware works. When you start vmware in window on :0 it will actually start another X server on :1 and display (in a window) the contents on :1. Is this possible (other then with vmware)? Thanks, --brad

Check the LILO howto for what the letters mean, I assume you have the kernel placed outside of where the BIOS can read. Make sure you have the latest BIOS revision and the drive is set in LBA mode (and use GRUB, while you're at it). ;-) Brian J.
