Multivnc and OLPC XO laptops

[Arjun Sarwal]

Dear all,

I am a volunteer with the OLPC project (http://laptop.org) For a
classroom scenario, where each child has an XO laptop, and the teacher
is using an Ubuntu laptop, we are strongly considering using Multi
VNC.  Currently we have a wifi access point through which the
teacher's laptop and the XO laptops (approx 30 in each classroom) are
connecting.

The problem that I am facing is that I can get multivnc server to
start up fine, but cant get the client side to start up. See this log
that displays in the terminal. Any help towards figuring this out
would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

Multivnc has a lot of applicability in the classroom context with the
OLPC project and we are very excited about getting this to run on the
XOs!

Cheers
Arjun
