Well, if you have x2vnc setup on the Linux box, then all you need is the VNC server to work on vista, i think TightVNC works on vista x64 (it worked on XP x64 if memory serves)

My current setup:
[Redmond] <-- [Linux Debian] --> [mac]

Both the redmond and the mac have VNC servers running, then from my linux i run a bash script to first of all kill any existing x2vnc processes running then start them again:

bash Code:

#!/bin/bash/
killall -9 x2vnc &> /dev/null
sleep 1
killall -9 x2vnc &> /dev/null
sleep 1
x2vnc -east ip:port -passwd ~/.vnc/passwd -mac &> /dev/null & disown
x2vnc -west ip:port -passwd ~/.vnc/passwd &> /dev/null & disown

echo VNC Restarted

That should work, it does for me anyway.
