Yes, x11nvc in meta-oe is an answer, but I don't want to have to drag in meta-oe (way too heavy for my tastes) just to be able to use it (I use it all the time to debug customer systems that I only have remote access to)... Maybe we should abandon Python or GDB (server) from OE-core as they aren't used by all systems either?? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
