Category: UN*X version Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Franz Sirl (fsirl) Assigned to: Adam Tkac (atkac) Summary: No keyrepeat with 1.0.90 on SLES11SP1 (with solution) Initial Comment: My first try to use tigervnc-1.0.90 on SLES11SP1 worked, but caused the infamous key repeat problem. After some trying I found out that essentially xorg-7.4 != xorg-7.4 :-). Since I build with this command: sh ../tigervnc-1.0.90/unix/build-xorg build -version 7.4 -static it seems that the choice of packages in unix/download-xorg-7.4 is incompatible with SLES11SP1 xorg-7.4. I investigated the versions that were really in use on SLES11SP1 and came up with the attached patch (make sure you clean ~/.tigervnc-xorg-7.4 before you rerun build-xorg. After applying the patch everything worked like a charm and I didn't have a single problem (with a tigervnc-1.0.90 client on win7-x64) since then. Though I changed a few packages to use, my guess is that the input-proto and xorg-xserver ones are the most relevant changes. Hope this helps, Franz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: D. R. Commander (dcommander) Date: 2011-04-29 18:13 Message: Patch has been applied and new binaries uploaded: http://www.virtualgl.org/DeveloperInfo/TigerVNCPreReleases An important note, however, is that if you're building with -static, you are not using the Xorg libraries on your system. You are statically linking with a completely isolated build of the Xorg libraries. Thus, there should not be any possibility of conflict between your system's Xorg libraries and the ones being used to build Xvnc. That being said, the key repeat bug was apparently a bug in the X server itself. See this thread regarding building a dynamically linked version of Xvnc with the pre-installed Xorg libraries: https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4DB942AE.1080708%40nagafix.co.uk&forum_name=tigervnc-devel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: D. R. Commander (dcommander) Date: 2011-04-27 14:01 Message: Adam, please see my comment below. I think we have a disconnect with regards to how build-xorg is supposed to be used. We probably need to add a new option to build-xorg that causes it to build against the system's X11 libraries, rather than installing the Xorg 7.4 libs. The current assumption is that if someone uses build-xorg, their system doesn't have recent enough libraries to build TigerVNC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Adam Tkac (atkac) Date: 2011-04-27 08:47 Message: I'm 99% sure this is issue in the xserver itself. Thank you for your patch, it will help me with bisecting the patch for this issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Franz Sirl (fsirl) Date: 2011-04-21 07:12 Message: Then I have to report that tigervnc-1.0.90 is totally unusable against xorg-x11-Xvnc-7.4-27.30.1.x86_64 from SLES11SP1. Colors are off, mouse input doesn't work, keyboard input crashes Xvnc, vncconfig doesn't start. So what other choice do I have than to use build-xorg to build a Xvnc compatible with tigervnc-1.0.90?

R. Commander (dcommander) Date: 2011-04-21 03:51 Message: You're misunderstanding the purpose of build-xorg. It is designed to build a cross-compatible version of Xvnc for systems which do not have recent enough Xorg libraries. If your system is already running Xorg 7.4, then you instead need to be building against the libraries that your system provides. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1126848&aid=3290864&group_id=254363 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
