Re: SV: Fonts not showing right under VNC

Walter, It depends on how your machine has been configured. If the machine is running xfs (X font server), then it could be one way. If not, it could be the other. Wez has some a good suggestion - confirming how X11 is configured for the console logins on that machine. You will likely need to

PATCH: building VNC 4.0 on SUSE-based em64t platform

Real VNC 4.0 will build on a SUSE-based 32-bit platform straight out of the box. However, on the em64t platform, it will not. Enclosed is the patches I applied in order to get it to build. I know that I set some of the following variables: CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and CXXLDFLAGS. The value w

I've written an entirely custom vncserver script that we use internally. One of the customizations we have allows for "global" settings for things like the geometry and color depth and those settings can be overridden by user customizations by looking at parameters inside a ~/.vnc/Xvnc.rc file.

You might have better luck trying to build VNC against XFree86 4.3.0 or 4.2.0 (the latter is what Real VNC builds against in their binary packages they distribute). I tried building VNC 4.0b4 against XFree86 4.4.0 on Linux and was able to get an Xvnc binary, but it segfaults very early on: (gdb)

Which version of VNC? 3.x versions of VNC did not build with IA64, and I suspect that's because XFree86 3.x pre-dated the IA64 platform. Real VNC 4.0b4 is based on XFree86 4.x, which does build cleanly on IA64. I don't have much reason to test tight VNC, though. - Jeff On Sat, 2003-09-13
