Configuring the X Server Remotely

[Gavin McDonald]

I second that motion...

Just tweak a line in the gdm.conf like so:

# vi /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
/Remote
/Enable
:s/false/true/
:wq

then add a file to /etc/xinetd.d/ called vnc-server, which contains the
following:

service vnc-server
{
        flags = REUSE
        protocol = tcp
        socket_type = stream
        wait = no
        user = nobody
        server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
        server_args = -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 1272x969 \
            -depth 24 -SecurityTypes none -desktop COMPUTERNAME
        disable = no

}

Finally, restart xinetd, and create an ssh tunnel with -L
