Does VNC automatically load after booting if you set-up desktop sharing before hand? I have VNC on my winxp machine and was trying to connect. I have the Amahi computer down in my basement with no monitor and no keyboard and was planning on connecting with it with vnc.

Just in case someone turns up here ... there is a wiki page describing how to setup VNC on your HDA

A much better ~/.vnc/xstartup is:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: # unset SESSION_MANAGER # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & exec gnome-session &
Note that line. This gives you your standard gnome desktop via VNC. This is what I have been doing for years....
