[mythtv-users] Network control?

[Pascal Favre]

I tried with loading the vnc module in xorg.conf and receive the message
"(II) IVTVDEV_TST(0)VNC disabled".

Afterwards I tried using   Option "VNC" "on" in the sections, without any positive result.
What is wrong ?

What VNC does depends on how you have it setup.

If you are running VNCServer, every VNC client that logs in will get a
new X session.

If you are using X11VNC (Or the "VNC" module in XFree86-Config-4), the
VNC client gets a copy of the current display (In this case, the
display on the TV). VNC then sends all keypresses and mouse movements
to that display, and mirrors the result in a window on your monitor.

Therefore, if you have X11VNC (Or the "VNC" Module) set up, you can
remotely control the TV.
