View over VNC what you see on the TV

Post by sham »

Hi,
i have have connect my Xbox with Scart to my TV. I see the KDE gui, but when I type over ssh

Code: Select all

vncserver
and connect via TightVNC to the Xbox (192.168.1.6:1) I see only a X Window System, not the KDE gui. When I type

Code: Select all

vncserver
on the KDE gui there comes a error with following sentence:

Code: Select all

... xauth not ...
Some suggestions?

I'm no VNC expert, but I think that specifying :1 after the IP tells it to use the 2nd virtual desktop (:0 being the first), so you would see a new blank desktop, not the one that would be showing on your TV. Try connecting with 192.168.1.6:0 and see if you see the right desktop.
