Aha! I have that installed but never noticed that option.. is there a way to make the display "dim" though, yet not blank completely (as happens with the gconftool trick)? I just think that must be better for battery consumption.

Even at the lowest brightness of 1, it's still got to be using more battery than when it's dimmed though, surely..? Not a bad workaround though, thanks!

This kind of goes along the lines of what tigerite was saying, is there any way to wake the n900's screen with the pc mouse while viewing the n900 screen from the pc? This could be useful in cases when I have my computer and not my phone (don't tell me this isn't likely). I wouldn't want to always keep the backlight on in order to use vnc.

PLEASE, Please, please help..!
My x11vnc used to work (~2011) - way before i had CSSU and stuff; now it just refuses to take up connection from the computer. I have tried passwd - doesn't work, purged package, removed passwd file, and reinstalled, tried the 'nohup' command and stuff - still not working.
I have static internal IP from my router (as displayed on my home IP widget) and i use no port offset, i.e. i only type in 192.168.x.xx on the VNC viewer. I also have SSH installed for SCP.
The error is:

That's a fairly generic-sounding error message; it doesn't seem to indicate any specific error, other than communication between the two parties simply ceased at some point.
Is it possible that something is blocking or interrupting the connection between the two machines? I guess you could test this by trying to connect using something other than VNC, such as the SSH, and seeing if something interferes while you're using that...

Thank you for your assistance..!
Yes, i am able to use SCP (which, i am assuming uses SSH) - it works perfect. Plus, i am able to use Presence VNC to control my PC from the N900 perfect.
IT's only this direction - seeing the screen of my N900 on my PC, which i was able to do, a few months ago (before my NITCroid experiments). This is a proper fresh install (no KP, only CSSU).
