VNC server in the Windows fashion

E

Hello,

I would like to set a vnc server on a FreeBSD machine but in the Windows sense of the thing. I mean you have an open local X session and you remotely take control of this last.

What I read and tested concerning vncserver don't allow that, it seems. As it launches its own X server and redirect inputs/ouputs to the network.

So, is it possible to take control of the desktop in a Microsoft Windows fashion?
 
You can have a go with x11/xrdp. But I can't remember if the session keeps running if you disconnect though. I assume that's what you're looking for?
 
Thanks but it seems that xrdp works on the same model than Xvnc. It needs to launch its own X session. Worse, I can't even get a connection with the remote desktop utility of Microsoft Windows (I enabled both xrdp and xrdp-sesman).

Is there really no software that takes control of an already existing X session?
