here's what i did in case anyone else wants it:

1. install tightvncserver via symantic
2. go to maemo terminal
3. type : debbie
4. type : tightvncserver -geometry 1400x1050 :1 (or whatever resolution your pc has)
5. type startlxde1

you will be asked to enter a password for users to use when connecting at step 4

when you connect from your pc specify ipaddress:1 e.g. 192.168.1.1:1

amazing stuff.
I followed these instructions (minus the typo in (4.), which should be:

tightvncserver :1 -geometry 1400x1050

However, when I try to run startlxde1 I get:

** ERROR **: Only one lxsession can be executed at a time. Aborting...

I've tried multiple times, even after a full reboot of the N900 to no avail. Any ideas?

I'm using the m5estel image, by the way.

Thanks to qole, estel, sulu, and many others in this thread. This is a fantastic program which adds even more value to the great N900.
