i trying to setup a headless x11vnc server, i think i got the parameter 
right. i'm loggin with ssh and then start x11vnc. however i noticed that 
when i am not logged in (after a system reboot), i need to run the 
x11vnc server twice, it exits after initial login. how can i correct 
this, the command i am using is:

x11vnc -forever -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth

also not sure if this will work for a headless server? i haven't removed 
my monitor yet to see =) also how can i increase the screen size? i am 
fixed at 1280x1024 which the monitor support but since i want to go 
headless i want to work with a bigger size of my vnc client.

thanks
