I just installed x2vnc at home now also. Now I can use my nice keyboard and trackball on my linux box, and just scroll the cursor off the linux desktop right into my win2k monitor sitting to the left of it. It's not slower at all, it works great. No more typing on the wrong keyboard!! Woohoo! Apparently I've been living under a rock or something since I never knew about this before.

Actually, I changed it to 800x600 and it's much better. I had a very intricate background too which I did away with. It's still noticably slower than actually being at the console, but it's not bad. VNC is sweet. I can't believe I didn't play with it sooner. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Zbikowski [mailto:andyzb at ltiflex.com] > Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 1:36 PM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: Re: [TCLUG:23456] Speaking of VNC... > > > "Austad, Jay" wrote: > > > > Hmmm, I already have mine set up like this and it's still > slow.
