Hello, all! I have an application where I want to run from a client machine at a remote site, via ethernet, an application that uses svgalib and runs on a server.
I have gotten both vncviewer and svncviewer to work over the link, and can run on the server the kde desktop, programs such as gimp, gedit, netscape, cdplayer from the remote computer with no problems and full functionality. When I try to run any svgalib applications, such as their demos (spin, vgatest for example) or an svgalib application program such as linrad ( http://ham.te.hik.se/homepage/sm5bsz/linuxdsp/linroot.htm ) these programs start OK but the display occurs only on the server and not on the remote computer, and keyboard input from the remote is not transmitted to the svgalib application. ONce the application has been started from the remote computer, keyboard input is accepted only from the server and video output is only to the server's display. When I exit the svgalib application by using the server keyboard commands, then keyboard strokes from the viewer are again accepted by the server as control is returned to the xterminal window on the remote viewer client. My guess is that in order to get keyboard input and display output sent to the viewer machine under svgalib, I must set the display and keyboard parameters to be directed to the viewer rather than to the server. My guess is that this must be done either in some svgalib initialization file, or possibly in the application source code itself. I would assume that these files reside on the server. The vncserver calls my client session P4.rehr.com:1, so I guess that I would have to put this somewhere in in startup file. Has anyone else run into this and is there an easy answer to what to change and where to find it? I've spent the day wading thru texts and the internet without a resolution. Both boxes have RedHat 7.2, svgalib-1.4.3, XFree86-4.2, svncviewer-0.1.1 and vnc-3.3.3r2_x86_linux_2.0. The machines are a P4 at 1.4 G with 512 MB (server) and a P200Pro with 128 MB (client) respectively. There are no performance issues; just the problem with needing to redirect keyboard input and video output under svgalib. It would be nice to also be able to redirect the audio from the server to the viewer machine, but that is a lesser problem because I can easily send that over alternate channels if necessary. Thanks in advance. 73, Roger Rehr W3SZ FN20ah 2 Merrymount Road Reading, PA 19609-1718 http://www.qsl.net/w3sz _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
