I'm running an raspberry pi with a display connected to the hdmi port. With a remote computer I want to view the actual graphic desktop (started with startx) of the pi which one can see on the display.
Is it something with export DISPLAY? But I have no idea about the correct parameters. I have a ssh connection via putty and a RDP connection. But the RDP desktop I see on the remote computer is different from the desktop of the hdmi display.
I appreciate any help. Thanks.

2Have you tried VNC yet? – dtmland – 2013-07-12T19:26:35.327
X forwarding won't give you the actual desktop being displayed on the Pi's local framebuffer; for that you need VNC. (I'm not sure how you got RDP working, but that's going to give you a separate login session as well, rather than the console's X session.) – Aaron Miller – 2013-07-12T20:20:40.513

Some desktop systems have a VNC server built in, it just needs activated. KDE has one, memory says Gnome has something similar.
