Hi there,

I'm having some difficulties with x11vnc and LXDE on a LUbuntu box. I've posted in general help, but think this sub-forum is probably the best place for the query as on further research it seems to be an LXDE issue. I have asked to have the original thread moved.

In summary:

- I was trying to run a monitor-less setup using VNC to occasionally do things where I needed a GUI. That did not work and plugging in a monitor also does not work (both just show black).

- I can see (using htop over ssh) that lightdm greeter has fired up, so perhaps I'm not getting the picture to the monitor due to changing xorg.conf settings.

- more details are in original thread below:

Solved - xorg.conf deleted.
