Ubuntu – Mac Tiger – Windows XP – and MythTV on the Same Desktop
I have integrated Ubuntu Jaunty, Mac Tiger, Windows XP, and a MythTV PVR into my desktop environment using the default compiz in the Ubuntu repositories. Ubuntu is the host operating system, Mac Tiger is a VNC connection on the local network maximized to fullscreen, Windows XP is running in VirtualBox, and MythTV is capturing HD 720P via FireWire from my SA4250HD Optimum Cablebox.

You have a really slick setup! I’d love to know more about how you set it up. Do you plan on giving some kind of a tutorial or at least a series of links that could be used to set up a similar system?

Hi,
great work!
I try something similar to, using my Ubuntu jaunty as an output to a Beamer. I want to switch between vnc-Sessions lies on different Desktops.
But in my case a have the Problem that the Fullscreen xtightvnc takes over the the input devices. I cant use the Shortcuts Crtl+F1/F2 to switch the Desktop.. how do you bypass that?
Maybe you could give me a hint

This will get you past the issue of VNC fullscreen.
