Starting the script
1. Navigate to the script folder and type ./startvnc
2. You will be prompted with a number of questions:
Choose a resolution to work at :
From the list, type the number that you choose. Full res is 1920 x 1200 (bigger than HD), 2/3 res is 1280 x 800 and 1/2 res is 960 x 600. A smaller resolution improves performance.
At this point, the script will also tell you the name of the VNC server (ex: The VNC server address is macedonia:0)
Do you want to start Smoke/Flame?
Choose y if you want to start smoke or flame. Keep in mind that if you want to control the application remotely, you need to start it from within the shell. This is not necessary for just viewing.
If you answered yes, it will ask you two other questions:
Do you want to remotely control the application?
This will enable you to use the mouse and keyboard on another system.
What software do you want to start? (type smoke, flame or other)
Type in the name of the program that you want to start. The script will always run the application from the most recently installed version.
If you want to force it to load a particular version, type its full name as it appears in /usr/discreet (ex: smoke_2007.SP3). The name of the selected version will appear on the next line.
The script will then start the VNC server, and a few seconds later, it will start the systems application.
