It looks like the graphics card on my Mac Pro is fubar*. While I deal with
that, I was hoping to use Chicken of the VNC to work on comp (email, etc)
over the LAN. However, I don't have screen sharing/remote desktop enabled
on the Pro.

The question: can I use SSH (or some other method) to change the screen
sharing/remote desktop setting(s) so I can go into the Pro with VNC from
my laptop.

Mac Pro w/10.5.?
Titanium Laptop w/10.4.11

Thanks!

*Running dual monitors. Neither appear to receive a signal from the Pro,
but both verified as working by mirroring the laptop.
