Attach to physical screen session

[kennyparsons]

I'd like to use kasmvnc to attach to a screen already in use (think of a remote help tool).

Currently, my x server is running on :1024. When I modify the kasmserver easy start script to use that display, kasm errors out, saying a vnc server already exists on it. Can a flag be added to attach to an existing display port if it already exists (whether vnc or physical, but definitely physical)?

We have a branch open that would allow you to do this. It adds a new binary, kasmxproxy, which will proxy an X session that is on a physical card to a KasmVNC session. You would have to build the code yourself though since it is not in a release yet. Also, be forewarned that if a physical monitor is in use, you should not use the -r option which auto resizes the session if the client is set to auto resize. Physical monitors would take issue with sizes they don't support.
