I haven't tried the MI/X yet (just downloaded it Fri.), but what about the Xvnc port from Valery Tulnikov ? http://www.dol.ru/users/valtul I just grabbed that yesterday, but there weren't any setup instructions (some of us aren't as self-sufficient as others :-) I have Xvnc on my linux box at work and I run the vncviewer on my windoze box; it works great. However, I'm not sure how to do it with Valery's package (all on one machine with the Xlib stuff, cygwin, and the Xvnc port). Xvnc is called from a perl script, so I got the cygwin perl package from Qub, but I'm not sure what to do next. Valery: What do I do with the classpath stuff in the vncserver script? Do I need to get the linux Xvnc package and extract those files? What about a window manager? (Xvnc uses twm by default, but I switched to fvwm on the linux box) Could you give us a brief setup howto that describes the required packages, tweaks, etc? (or does anyone else have this combination working?)
