They used to have a module for the XFree server, hopefully this works on Xorg, too. With this module enabled in your xorg.conf you can share your Xorg sessions via vnc. It's up to you to set up SSH forwarding for that vnc port, but I'd strongly suggest doing so. Note that i mean to use the "Xorg" X server, not tightvnc/ realvnc (although it's realvnc technology). With NX and the VNC-X-Servers you'd have to run a vnc/NX viewer fullscreen on top on a Xorg server. I don't think NX supports concurrent access, but I don't know for sure. VNC would work, but will be unusually slow on local side - and no hw acceleration at all. HWH -- This message is made of 100% recycled bits and bytes! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
