Hello, everyone, I've recently tried installing Aurora 1.0 (RedHat 7.3 for Sun machines) on my SparcServer 20. The compiled version of VNC available for this distro, 3.3.3r2+tight1.2.2, does not work properly. 'vncserver' correctly starts up, and I can connect to my virtual display using a vncviewer on another machine on the network. Immediately the background, xterm and its contents look good. However, as commands are entered in the xterm window, its contents become garbled (unreadable mix of pixels that are correctly colored.) If the xterm window is dragged across the screen, it leaves a garbled background of pixels behind it. After a little more dragging, Xvnc usually crashes. I am currently trying to compile the most recent version of VNC, but expect the same problems. The Aurora users mailing list's best guess is that VNC might be assuming little-endianess with Linux--which mostly runs on Intel-type PCs--when this distribution of Linux--running on the Sparc architecture--is big-endian. This line from the VNC server log supports this claim: 03/02/03 20:42:22 16 bpp, depth 16, little endian Can anyone confirm or dispute this hypothesis? Could anyone direct me to the VNC code that I would use to play around with this part of the configuration?
