X11 forwarding through SSH
- by martinjlowm
I have been playing around with X11 forwarding the past few hours and so far I've managed to forward my desktop pc's X Server to my laptop, using X11VNC as server and X2VNC as client. X2VNC uses Xinerama to provide a dual-screen-like behavior between my laptop and my desktop pc.
It's actually really great!
I know that most Linux systems run Xorg and desktop environments on TTY7.
Therefore I was thinking, is it in any way possible to have the VNC-tunnel tied to it's own TTY?
It would be great to be able to switch forth and back between two TTY's in order to choose which machine to manage. And I would like this approach more than using Xinerama or a GUI.
