Vps – What’s the Xen compatible VNC client for Mac OS X

mac-osxvncvpsxen

I have a VPS hosting account, and the hosting is offered by Xen, and controllable via VNC.
I could connect to my machine with my iOS app, but couldn't with Finder on Mac OS X. Maybe there is an unknown problem on Finder's VNC client. However I need Xen compatible VNC client for Mac OS X. Please recommend some.

It seems that OSX's built in VNC client does something that Xen doesn't. We got a VNC viewer called 'JollysFastVNC', and it works very well with Xen. In fact, I think it's the only OS one that I've gotten to work correctly.

TightVNC Server seems to ignore settings without a user logged in to server locally

When logged out, VNC is controlled by the registry entries in HKLM\Software. You may find that when logged in it's looking at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software. If so try deleting the TightVNC key from the current user bit of the registry and restart the service. With a bit of luck it will then resort to using the local machine key instead.

Xen connect to dom0 with vnc

So, I've found the answer, as a result of another answer that was totally condescending and really upset me (and was deleted), but forced me to dig and dig to figure out how to do this. The answer lies within x11vnc, which was apparently created partly for this purpose. Luckily, Xen actually installs x11vnc for me, so I don't even have to install it. Just run:

sudo x11vnc -rawfb console

and blammo, vnc to the console. Like a KVM, but requires network. There are a million options for x11vnc, and I haven't explored them all yet, but this is perfect and exactly what I need. To run it in the background, add a bg flag:

sudo x11vnc -bg -rawfb console
