Luca:
I apologise if I was not clear. My goal is the following: my new board is
running ucLinux. It is a VME board. It does not have its own display. But
it has a gigabit ethernet interface. I want to run an app which will popup
a window on a remote machine, either a regular Linux box or Windows. I do
not care, whether the remote machine is Linux or Windows. Can be either.
I am probably confusing "server" with "client". I am sorry for that. I
just want to say that my board does not have any sort of graphics chipset
on-board. All what it has is gigabit ethernet.
I must confess I am not sure what is VNC. In good old days I used to build
my own PC boxes with graphics cards and run Linux on these. I still
rememer the fun of setting up X-servers and getting all the resolutions.
But it was 15 years ago. I did not encounter VNC back then. So perhaps I
am now misusing the nomenclature.
In any case, I described my goals. Can nano-X help?
Thank you -- Wojtek
