10.5: Share screens with non-10.5 Macs
Authored by: Steff-X2 on Nov 08, '07 12:05:26AM
You don't need the VNC server to use Bonjour to connect to it. In the Finder, select "Connect to server..." then type
vnc://address.of.the.vnc.server
The Screen Sharing application will launch.

10.5: Share screens with non-10.5 Macs
Authored by: greed on Dec 16, '07 11:50:58AM

If you've got VNC servers on non-default ports, typical on X11-based UNIX systems, you need to specify the full port address. Say you've got a VNC server on DISPLAY 1 on a Linux box, then the URL is:

vnc://some.linux.box:5901/

The port is 5900 + the display number.
