Hi everyone,
If you're trying to control your Mac OS X screen from your Linux box using x2vnc and the built-in Mac OS Screen Sharing server, and it's not working - or has stopped working - I finally figured out why.
It's because the Mac now adds a small security screen during an unencrypted VNC login.
To get around this, you need to bypass this screen so that VNC goes to the currently logged-in user.
This is done via this command:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement VNCAlwaysStartOnConsole -bool true
Be aware that this bypasses some added security, so use this carefully.
Cheers,
Paul
