[NTLUG:Discuss] how I solved the win/lin problem....

[David Stanaway]

I think you misunderstood what I meant.

x2vnc doesn't copy the display from the vnc server, it sends keyboard
and mouse events.. so it is hust a remote keyboard/mouse, but keeping
the local display (which you physically move).
