Albeit, this might be an off-the-wall question, but it's not necessarily
irrelevant. I'm looking for a way to control 2 PC's from 1 GUI
interface on a third PC via WiFi. All 3 boxes run linux (1 Zaurus, 2
desktop equivalents). They all run X. The Zaurus is touchscreen. I
was thinking about using TightVNC but I'm not sure if I can do it that
way. I'm most concerned with XMMS and I know theres an xmms-ctrl
module that will let you controll xmms from the console. I could
build a wrapper around that buuuuut.... I'm hoping there's a more
elegant solution.
Can anyone think of a way I can do this?
Could I shotgun 2 [tight]VNC connections and accomplish this? Or
maybe serialize them (use one to control remotely view the other).
But if I do this, it won't truly be simultaneous.
As always, much respect in advance to the winner...!
