We all know that it is possible to run a VNC server in an xsession to remotely view/control this session. What I like to know is the following: Is it possible to display the xsession that was started with VNC (via xinetd) on a real hardware screen?
The background is: I have a HTPC that is attached to the network via GLan and to a beamer via DVI as well as to sound. What I would like to do is: Login on the server from my desktop, start a movie on the server and watch it on the beamer.
Maybe it is just enough to start the vnc server while booting but I don't know if this has some issues. Also I would like to start this vnc server only on demand (so via xinetd).
So did anyone of you try this? I would appriciate any advice (even how to do it without VNC, but still over the net).
I did not know of them and I also don't know if they are suitable for my needs as my server is more than just a HTPC. – Nobody – 2011-09-23T17:10:48.127
I think you must see what xbmc offers to you and then enjoy your music and videos in a better way. – n00b – 2011-09-23T17:29:05.363
