This is a simple guide on setting up X11VNC on a system running Ubuntu 10.04 in a headless configuration. Good Luck, and YMMV.<br />

I got 99% of this from someone elses work, All I did was alter the init script by passing the -24to32 argument.<br />
See references section<br />
<br />
<br />
== x11vnc ==<br />
'''Install x11vnc'''<br />
sudo apt-get install x11vnc<br />
OR compile x11vnc from source: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/<br />
<br />
'''Edit GDM init script'''<br />
sudo nano /etc/gdm/Init/Default<br />
<br />
'''Add on the second to last line'''<br />
/usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc/passwd -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -bg -forever -24to32<br />
<br />
'''OR if you compiled from source, add the following line'''<br />
/usr/local/bin/x11vnc -xkb -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc/passwd -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -bg -forever -24to32<br />
<br />
'''Create a log file'''<br />
sudo touch /var/log/x11vnc.log<br />
<br />
'''Create a password file'''<br />
sudo mkdir /etc/x11vnc<br />
sudo touch /etc/x11vnc/passwd<br />
sudo x11vnc -storepasswd /etc/x11vnc/passwd<br />
Follow the commands to store your password. Alternatively, if you do not wish to use a password, do not run this line and remove the -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc/passwd section from /etc/gdm/Init/Default<br />
<br />
'''Restart GDM'''<br />
sudo restart gdm<br />
<br />
You now have a fully configured, headless VNC setup. Congratulations! Please note that your VNC session will end whenever you log out of GDM, this is a problem with GDM killing the X11 session. X11VNC will start up again with the new X11 session at the login screen, so nothing to worry about, just reconnect!<br />
