Hi, I configured the archlinux + xbmc. I will like remote control xbmc with x11vnc from other machine. Now, I control the xbmc with xbmc remote from android. And also start x11vnc when archlinux boot... Thanks in advanced.

You should be able to connect to the x11vnc server with any vnc client, like Vinagre. Once a vnc connection is established, if xbmc is running, you can control it with the keyboard/mouse of the machine running the vnc client. What problem are you experiencing, exactly? ----------- I'd flash you my business card, but my hands are too full of guns. - Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, making another dashing rescue

I know nothing about xbmc but normally i would put it in the .xinitrc file to load it when X starts up don't forget to put it in the background with a '&' at the end of tge command. /Daniel - ---------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: APG v1.1.1 iQFABAEBCgAqBQJTQoh7IxxEYW5pZWwgUGlyZWsgPHBpZWZnZTMxNEBnbWFpbC5j b20+AAoJEFOZgJga5mfX1NQH/RzEiC1T+qRrHWVLQOQkOSQZK7/89m5vbRrFtNsk WCZ6StNaUGEYTgvYdo+scG5dpjg+Dii4Secb+p01s2SCrV1VH7octzTAlXxn1rv8 7djegiNuqT+XSDcwToIux5R2uBnzZD7IO6PSw/KpfFE0TsyAJPQgI7bGqD4INpaw JCVKSj6LMtWZKw653LsJoeb1pEwzAk31XmNss327nGg6NV9oI60ORLYXgfOUUOKM JufF1FHggiULNvaWhU6GgiQZsf3khkXvhSysOvpy6xw6jiM8Z3SWerJ0HQBgaJn1 sB9PwKLl8zJQy6K+NRUGQJLe3C1txLsMe53TqunCVmUM9NY= =GZeK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Are you using a display manager and desktop environment? I once had a setup exactly like you're describing. What I did was: - I had LightDM set to autologin the "xbmc" user, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lightdm#Enabling_Autologin - When the "xbmc" user was logged in, XFCE was autostarted using .xinitrc, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc - I wrote a simple bash script that started x11vnc. Using XFCE's settings GUI, I added two autostart applications: XBMC and the start_x11vnc.sh script I had written. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce#Custom_Startup_Applications With this setup when the machine starts, it will autologin the "xbmc" user, it will start the XFCE desktop environment, and immediately XBMC will start (normally full-screen) and the x11vnc server will also start. There are more lightweight ways of doing this, but I liked being able to exit XMBC and still have a full desktop environment for any file manipulations or whatever.

You can start the VNC client on login by adding it to .xinitrc (or using the autostart feature of your desktop environment).
