When successfully connected, the VNC viewer shows the display of the running virtual
machine.
6.4.1 Assigning VNC Viewer Port Numbers
Although the default behavior of VNC viewer is to assign the first available port number,
you might want to assign a specific VNC viewer port number to a specific virtual ma-
chine.
To assign a specific port number on a VM Guest, edit the xend setting of the virtual
machine and change the location to the desired value:
(device
(vfb
)
)
For more information regarding editing the xend settings of a machine, see
"Virtual Machine Manager"
TIP
Assign higher port numbers to avoid conflict with port numbers assigned by
the VNC viewer, which uses the lowest available port number.
6.4.2 Using SDL instead of a VNC Viewer
If you access a virtual machine's display from the virtual machine host console (known
as local or on-box access), you might want to use SDL instead of VNC viewer. VNC
viewer is faster for viewing desktops over a network, but SDL is faster for viewing
desktops from the same computer.
To set the default to use SDL instead of VNC, change the virtual machine's configuration
information to the following. For instructions, see
