To access the XBMC (XBMCBuntu) computer remotely I have found the following:
log into your xbmc machine via putty and do
sudo apt-get install x11vnc
and then
sudo x11vnc -display :0

This works, but every time when I want to access the screen remotely, I have to repeat the last command before I can connect.
Can I have x11vnc to keep running automatically and permanently?

Yessss, thanks, it seems to work.

Bummer ... my laptops keyboard works fine through VNC but the mouse doesn't work.
Anybody any idea?

Usually the mouse pointer becomes a dot instead of your standard cursor, are you sure you're just not seeing it?

[XBMCLuver]

Yes, I see it on my laptop but not on my TV.

That's very weird. I haven't seen that before, you'd have to consult Google.

Why Google?
Is this the XBMC forum or not?

[negge]

Yes it's the XBMC forum, not a forum for VNC issues.

Good point indeed.
