The company's computer is installed with Gentoo Linux, and its own notebook is installed with Windows XP Professional. Linux uses x11vnc (http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/) as the Remote Desktop Server, according to recommendations on the x11vnc website, Windows uses TightVNC as the viewer (http://www.tightvnc.com /).
For more information, see the x11vnc help file:
1. Install the server and client respectively.
Under Gentoo:
Emerge x11vnc
In WINXP:
Download an installerpackage at http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html and install it.
2. Start Server
Under the Gentoo command line:
X11vnc-display: 0-forever
-Display: 0 indicates connecting to the 0th display terminals of X-Server
-The forever option ensures that the server process is not terminated when the server does not have a client. By default, the server process is terminated when the client exits.
3. Connect to the Remote Desktop
In WINXP, there are three shortcuts after TightVNC is installed, which respectively represent three connection modes (Note 1): TightVNC Viewer (best compress)/TightVNC Viewer (fast compress) tightVNC Viewer (Listen mode ). In fast compress mode, enter <your IP>: <display number> in the address bar and click OK to start the connection. If you want to set it further, click option.
4. Access Windows desktop from KDE
Server: In WINXP, run the launch TightVNC server of TightVNC. After the instance is successfully run, an icon is displayed on the launch Ray. (do not directly start the vncserver service on the control panel. The client will not detect the server, launch TightVNC server is also prohibited from starting a new server)
Client: Install krdc using Gentoo Kde, a client that supports multiple remote desk protocols. Enter <your IP>: <display number> In the remotedesk address bar and click Connect to start the connection.
NOTE 1: The difference between the three modes: The first two indexes data compression ratio in data transmission. on the company's Lan, the two are similar in speed and are not very fast. After connecting to the Remote Desktop, scrolling and moving the cursor are obviously lagging behind. In addition, the best compress effect is very poor, so you can basically give up this mode. In the listen mode, an icon will be displayed on the selected Ray. I will not go into details about the differences between the two modes. If you have time, let's take a look.
