[mythtv-users] Ever use VNC? I find it really useful.

I think someone asked how I have my VNC setup to connect the primary display. 
I didn't find references to all these settings in a single place so I kind of
fumbled my way.  Because this is on my internal network, I don't have password
prompting when attaching to my primary display. 

I'll eventually put this in the wiki in greater detail.  This was a learning
experience for me so if anyone sees any settings I'm not using right, please
"speak up" :)  One thing I've noticed is when I connect using vncviewer,
hitting the ">" and "<", outputs an "X" and "Z" respectively (strange).

In your xorg.conf, add these items:

Section "ServerLayout"
     # plus whatever else was originally there
     InputDevice "vncKeyboard" "CorePointer"
     .
     .
     .
EndSection

Section "Module"
     Load "vnc"
     # plus whatever else was originally there
     .
     .
     .
EndSection

# This section is exact
Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier "vncKeyboard"
     Driver "rfbkeyb"
     Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
     Option "XkbLayout" "en_US"
     Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
EndSection

# This section is exact
Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier "vncMouse"
     Driver "rfbmouse"
EndSection

Section "Device"
     #Add to this section
     Option "usevnc"
     # this is the IP of the machine you are attaching to
     Option "interface" "192.168.0.105"
     .
     .
     .
EndSection
