Hi !

My configuration:
- HTPC built on AT3IONT-I connected through HDMI to TV
- Ubuntu 10.10
- XBMC 10.0
- XBMC is started automatically (user auto-logged to it through gdm)

I'd like to have clean way to:
- start Xvnc on display :1
- have full GNOME desktop on it (with gdm login)
- without auto-login of any user
- without breaking any of current functionality
On this second (VNC) display I'd like to be able to use HTPC as regular Linux desktop.

I searched through forum as well as google, but couldn't find any complete solution.
What I have done:
- installed Xvnc4
- added xinetd.conf entry for Xvnc startup:

Code:

service Xvnc
{
        type = UNLISTED
        disable = no
        socket_type = stream
        protocol = tcp
        wait = no
        user = nobody
#        only_from = localhost
        server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
        server_args = -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1024x768  -depth 16 -cc 3 -once -SecurityTypes=none
        port = 5900
}

- added necessary lines to xorg.conf (Screen, Display, Device section)

Code:

Section "Device"
Identifier "VNC Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "VNC Screen"
Device "VNC Device"
Monitor "VNC Monitor"
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "VNC Monitor"
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-75
EndSection

TODO:
- write proper gdm custom.conf file (now there is only one entry - for auto XBMC-user login):

Code:

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=false
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=shuser
AutomaticLogin=shuser
TimedLoginDelay=30
DefaultSession=XBMC

What I can:
- start and connect to Xvnc server

What I can't:
- setup gdm to start greeter on it without breaking current functionality....

Any help ?

Alan
