    When I connect with the Neo through VNC Viewer I get an "X" as cursor like mentioned in the following link
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/603169/lubuntu-14-04-tightvnc-remote-mouse-cursor-is-x
    I tried to solve it as suggested in the link but i cannot find xstartup or any other configuration file for vnc server.
    What VNC server is the Neo using? How can I change the setting?

    BTW I found an 404 in http://www.udoo.org/docs-neo/Getting_Started/Use_as_a_headless_IoT_Device.html when linking to the SSH or VNC pages in Basic setup.

    Could please try edit the file /etc/init/x11vnc.conf
    removing the line " -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage \" ?

    After removing this line copy and paste works for me (using Vinagre as VNC client). If you confirm we will fix it in the final release.

    Hi Francesco, I am on a short ski holiday now, so I will try to edit it next week and share the results.

    I'm back :) But no luck with editting the /etc/init/x11vnc.conf file as it seems i do not have one?? I did a locate and find on the system but nu luck.
    I also performed a sudo apt-get update/upgrade action and after an reboot still no /etc/init/x11vnc.conf file.
    When I look at https://github.com/UDOOboard/mkudoobuntu/commit/511486134592eeb9b15cecbb43d8d5c9e8b5f57f it looks like I still have the the old configuration.
    The change is committed 26 days ago, I installed RC1 when it was released so before this commit.
    How do I get the new installation? Should I download a new (but the same RC1) image?

    You are right. The RC1 for Neo does not include this commit. It will be included in the next release.
