There is one other VNC server that actually is based off the Modular X platform. And it's written by actual Xorg developers. http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ Actually, it just takes TightVNC and integrates it to the modular X build. I asked on the Xorg list why they don't merge it into the main Xorg repo. The answer was because VNC is a patented technology. It can't be distributed under the Xorg license, so you have to get it from somewhere else. I'm not sure where he originally got this from, but on Paldo, they patch the xvnc extension right into the server. http://www.paldo.org/paldo/sources/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.1.1-xvnc-1.patch.bz2 You have to autoreconf after the patch. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
