Pi Screen Display ?

I really urge you to install an x11vnc server on your Pi, and not the tightvncserver package. The main reason is that probably as most of us you expect seeing on your remote PC the same screen that you see when sitting in front of the Pi (i.e. the HDMI screen = DISPLAY 0: ). X11vnc installs this "out of the box".

After installing by >sudo apt-get update  and then >sudo apt-get install x11vnc by sure to run x11vnc once by >x11vnc -storepasswd.

If you want to have it starting automatically when your X desktop comes up, you have to create an autostart directory in your hidden .config directory and add a file x11vnc.desktop :

Here a file that shows this all and ***is working***

1. Why x11vnc ?

X11vnc enables to access the default desktop out of the box (i.e. the desktop is the same as that of the user pi sitting in front of the computer)

1. Installing and configuring x11vnc

1. sudo apt-get update   (just in case)
   
   
2. sudo apt-get install x11vnc
   
   
3. run once > x11vnc –storepasswd

            This creates a directory .vnc (in users /home/pi ) with the file passwd

1. create a directory autostart in .config  (it it does not exist) and in /autostart the file x11vnc.desktop with the following lines

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Type=Application

Name=X11VNC

Comment=starts x11vnc server with X
Exec=x11vnc –forever

StartupNotify=false

Terminal=false

Hidden=false

1. reboot
