I would personally set up VNC and tunnel it over ssh. Tried your approach once and never had much joy.
Thanks Ben, all, Now the synapses are starting to fire again. The frustrating thing is I used to do this without much of an issue when I would setup arch in virtualbox for building Trinity (before I found the archroot magic). I used 'rdesktop', e.g.: rdesktop myhost.mydomain.com -u david -g 1280x800 -E -x l & (or '-x b' for broadband) This allowed connection to either kdm or windows (with remote desktop connections enabled, and e.g. port 3389 forwarded to myhost). Where I'm getting senile is I do not recall doing anything special to the display manager to allow connections with rdesktop. I do recall using tightvnc-server. So it looks like today for Arch that means TigerVNC: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TigerVNC This looks like what I needed. I'll let you know how it pans out. If there are any EXSI specific quirks, I'll note them in the wiki. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
