−You could also use VNC, although it's a bit complex:
−
−
− # apt-get install vnc4server blackbox
− # pico ~/.vncrc
−
−* enter this line to set the desktop size:
−
− $geometry = “2048x1600”;
−
−* start the vnc server:
−
− # vnc4server
−
−* Connect to the vnc server using (e.g.) Windows TightVNC viewer.

−Some engines have a native GUI that can be accessed from your desktop/laptop computer. There are several methods for achieving this:
+Some engines have a native GUI that can be accessed from your desktop/laptop computer. Zynthian provides a VNC viewer for a desktop that allows access to these native GUI. By default VNC is disabled and it is recommended to disable for performance (as it has a small overhead which is best saved for your audio). To enable VNC and access the desktop and engines' native GUI:
−* Connect via web browser to webconf
−* Navigate to INTERFACE->UI Options
−* Assert Enable VNC Server option and press Save
−* Reload webconf and navigate to INTERFACE->UI-Engines
−* If you use Linux, you probably already have it, so you don't need to do anything special. Simply login into your zynthian using the ssh with the "-Y" option for forwarding the X session:
+* Enter the Zynthian password (default: raspberry)
−* If you are a Mac user, you should install and enable the '''XQuartz''' package. After that, login into your zynthian with the same command.
−* If you are a Windows user, then you should install the '''XMing''' package and login into your zynthian using Putty with the "X11 forwarding" option enabled.
−* Login into your zynthian box and enter:
