Re: Problem with VNC on AMD64

2007-11-11 Thread David van Kuijk

Hi Josh and others

Has anybody been able to solve this problem yet?

I pulled in a friend who has a zillion years of experience with BSD and 
was not able to solve the problem.
It looks like it is not even possible to start the X when the machine 
has a monitor attched to it.


I installed FreeBSD 7.0 Beta with xorg 7.3.1, but there the problem 
seems to be the same...


Greetings,
D

 Of course, there's no window manager running (I get the default X gray
 screen with a generic X cursor).

 If I try to run wmaker against the VNC display, I get the same message:

 % wmaker -display localhost:1
 wmaker fatal error: it seems that there is already a window manager
 running

 Like you, I've tried other window managers, but I have the same
 problem. I'll wait to see if anyone has any ideas, otherwise I'm going
 to go ahead and submit a PR for this.

vnc-4.1.2_2 from ports. I wonder if this is related to it compiling
against ancient XFree86 source?

The tightvnc port has the same problem, actually. Same message in the
vnc log, but also another:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range
for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  102 (X_ChangeKeyboardControl)
  Value in failed request:  0x3c
  Serial number of failed request:  6
  Current serial number in output stream:  8
Xlib: sequence lost (0x1  0x8) in reply type 0x0!
X Error of failed request:  0
  Major opcode of failed request:  0 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  0
  Current serial number in output stream:  8

Would it matter that the window manager itself is linked
against/compiled against X.org, while these VNC ports use old XFree86?
I wouldn't think so, unless Xlib is different enough.

Perhaps this should be posted to freebsd-x11 instead?

Hi David,
I have been experiencing some issues with VNC myself and after a few tries I 
decided to give up on it, I am stock back into shell mode, but that's find 
hence the machie most of the time is close to me. in any way, i am confident 
someone here would be able to help you, yet the problems I experience if i 
recall correctly were similar to the ones you outline in your log. Lisandro

 Hi
 
 I have been using FreeBSD for several years now on intel32. Now I 
 installed it on my new server which is a AMD64. Most things go well, but 
 I can't get a Window Manager working under VNC anymore. Here you find 
 the VNC log:

 So VNC server will run, and I can connect to it from a VNC-client, but 
 the window manager fails to start correctly.
 
 I've tried a different window manager (TWM), but here a similar error 
 message occurs:
 twm:  another window manager is already running. on screen 0?
 twm:  unable to find any unmanaged video screens.
 
 
 Anybody suggestions how I can solve this?
 
 Greetings,
 David
