[wellylug] Starting VNC on boot

[Pete Black]

There is a VNC extension for XFree86 that lets you share the 'primary' X 
display - i.e. the one the local user sees much like the Windows VNC setup
Using this extension you can have one X11 desktop with all your apps 
that you can access from anywhere, as opposed to one 'local' X session, 
and a separate X session running on a vncserver.
See:

http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/news.html
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_TightVNC_W/_JPEG_Compression_to_connect_to_existing_X_Sessions

for more info

If you need more help to get this going, i may be able to help you out.
