Hello All,
I am a Solaris Admin and I just purchased my first
mac.It is a mini which is attached to my LCD TV. The
primary purpose was for FrontRow. I purchased the
2.0ghz with Superdrive, so I will also be able to turn
my media (pictures and video) into dvd's. I want to be
able to run my i* apps (idvd, imovie, iphoto) but on
my Linux/Solaris laptop.
VNC:
I connect to the mini right now via vine vnc server
from my laptop. The first issue I have is that my
laptop is 1920x1200 and the mini is 1366x768. On other
UNIX vncservers, you can specify a custom geometry. So
I can fill the laptop display with the remote display.
Can I download the vnc source, and complie it on the
mac? That would work on another UNIX, but what about
OSX. I want to be able to run:
# vncserver -geometry 1920x1200
X Exporting Display:
I have been able to ssh into the mac mini, export my
display and launch x apps (located in /usr/X11/bin).
The display is correctly exported back to my laptop
running Suse.
This fails when trying to launch apps under
/Applications/.....
The app will then display on the local display but not
the remote one.
Here is the post I made to the Apple forums. Judging
from the response, it seems I am stuck with vine and
it's limitations.
I wanted to ask here and see if anyone has better
ideas.
