[LUG] VNC

[Simon Robert <simon-robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
do any of you have experience using vnc? It looks great, you can have lots 
of PC's, thin clients, whatever running linux gnome/kde/whatever sessions.

I thought that the tricky bit would be configuring it, but not so. With 
linux 9 the vnc server stuff comes as standard and configuring it all took 
about 4 minutes. I set it up PC to linux server at the office and all was good.

However out on a client site with a far more powerful machine running as 
the linux server it runs like a one legged dog!

The problem maybe to do with xwindows, in that the kde desktop just ain't 
getting the resources and priorities it needs in terms of memory etc. The 
graphical login screen jumps up nice and fast, after that though you could 
make and drink a cup of tea between the display of each line of the kde 
gui. As for the mouse move it from one side of the screen to the other and 
you can go off for 10 minutes while the graphical pointer catches up with 
the movement.

It doesn't seem to be a network problem as run it in text mode and it seems 
to go at normal speed, i.e. do a find or list things. So anyone got any 
ideas on what to do... ?




Simon
