G’day All
I was hoping that someone might be able to help me out with a problem.
I have a Access Grid machine (details to follow) that has 2 x dual head video cards. I recently upgraded the machine to fedora 10 (No distro flame wars please) in which I can no longer remote desktop (using vnc) properly to be able to see and control all X Screens (4 in total).
In previous versions of Linux, I use to use "Desktop Sharing" in KDE, but Krfb recently due to some software updates, has been found to be problematic.
I am currently trying to use "Remote Desktop (Gnome)" in which appears to work fine, but only allows me to control the primary display screen. I have also tried x0vncserver with similar results.
I am using 2 nVidia Quadro FX1700 video cards, using nvidia-setting to configure the 4 displays using xinerama. Note: if I use Separate Screens, I can only control the first screen, if I use Twinview, I am able to control the first 2 screens, but not the other 2.
Also note that I need to be able to connect to this "desktop" via a windows machine, using something like realvnc or ultravnc (I have tried both).
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knew a solution to this problem as google doesn't seem to be helping me this time round. Though it does appear to be less an "distro" problem, as I have seen people (on the web) complaining about similar problems with other flavours of Linux.
Someone mentioned that there might be a -ignorexinerama option within the server or vncviewer, but I haven't been able to find anything.
Details on the system are as follows:
Dell Precision T3400
2.4GHz quad-core Core 2 (Q6600)
Dual 512MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro FX1700 video cards
2GB of Memory
320GB SATA HDD (3.0Gb/s, 7.2k RPM)
Gigabit NIC
16X max DVD+/-RW Drive
Running Fedora 10 (x86_64 Version)
Your assistance in helping me to solve this problem would be extremely appreciated.
Regards,
Jason.
