fantastic. thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
First instructions that really worked without any modifications. Just made my life so much easier.
Thank you again.
I seem to be having some issues, ie: keyboard and mouse losing synchronization. Anyone have suggestions for configurations in X11vnc to avoid these issues. I’m reading through the man pages now, but haven’t found anything yet.
KRC, what vnc client are you using and on what OS?
