<div><br>I solved this problem on my MythTV machine (which I don't have access to right now). If memory serves, I modified my VNC startup script to export a variable (I think I called it VNCSERVER). Then I modified my mythtv startup script to check for the VNCSERVER variable.

<div>Interestingly enough, I think there's a couple of other programs that you don't want to start under VNC. I don't remember. I'll e-mail with scripts tonight when I'm at my machine. But it's definitely fixable and now my VNC works perfectly. I program on the MythTV box (from a XP laptop) while my wife watches her commercial free TV. All on a $75 Celeron!
