Instructions worked fine. But I get a new screen. Instead I’d like to have screen sharing with the actual remote machine.

Hi,

VNC works as expected. However I am having two issues :-

1. When remote machine gets connected, how to make the display occupy the entire screen ( normally it occupies nearly 60% space with blanks on either side )?

2. When I try to log out, the icons of remote system go off the screen but the base UI remains and never ends – any method of getting clear log-off ?

Hi Rahul

Your instruction looks great and it works fine.

Instead of adding additional users like user1, user2 as mentioned in your document, what is the procedure to add the root user to the VNC users list and let Root user access the server via VNC?

Looking forward for your response.

Regards
Jo
