Can we "ignore" the actions on a server touchscreen?

[James Weatherall]

Julie,

Firstly, I'd recommend upgrading to VNC 4.  Under the VNC Server Properties
Inputs tab, there is an option to "Disable local inputs while server is in
use", which prevents local keyboard & mouse input from having any effect
while a remote user is connected.

Regards,
