I've installed the Fedora 18 ARM Remix for Raspberry Pi onto the SD card of my RasPi (type B). When connected by HDMI, Fedora and XFCE4 come up fine and without the HDMI i'm able to login through SSH easily from my other Windows box in the same network. The Pi is connected by LAN cable to a simple home router which assigns private IP addresses in 192.168...
The problem is getting remote desktop through xrdp or vnc in this FEDORA 18 ARM (rpfr18). Remote desktop is quite simple to get up and running in Raspbian and I was able to 'sudo apt-get install xrdp vncserver' after which the remote desktop was reachable directly through mstsc and a VNC Client respectively from my Windows 7.
On Fedora I've installed xrdp and vncserver and have started them yet I'm not able to connect from Windows. I have done a fair amount of googling yet am unable to get remote desktop working on this Fedora on Pi from Windows 7. Help much appreciated...
This is what I've done so far through a putty SSH session as sshd comes up at boottime:
