StartX through network?

[manhi40]

I have a raspberry pi, sitting on my desk, (running wheezy), I don't want to keep having to plug/unplug hdmi/usb cables to use startx. Anyway I can open my pi's display onto my desktop?

You can use VNC
or
you can use X Forwarding so that the application shows up on your normal desktop.
ssh -X pi@raspberrypi
login, then when you run an X application, the application will show up on your desktop, assuming you're using Linux on your desktop

Thanks!

Another option is Remote Desktop (RDP)
You install XRDP on you RPi and run a (free) remote desktop client on you PC.

sudo apt-get install xrdp

This is how set up RDP:

Vnc is working flawlessly, but I will definitely give rdp a try
