Hi, I've been using the vnc.so module with much success over the past month. I use XFree86 4.1.0-3 on RH7.2.
Here are my comments: 1. I have the key repeat delay and rate cranked up on my native X server. 'xset q' reports: auto repeat delay: 250 repeat rate: 40 When view the desktop from home using a WinVNC viewer, I get tons of duplicate key strokes. I have to set the key delay and repeat rate back to the default: auto repeat delay: 660 repeat rate: 25 to get sane behavior. I guess I don't classify this as a bug, but it would be nice not to have to switch the repeat rate back and forth when I'm at work/home. 2. Cut/paste doesn't work. Not one bit. Not either direction. No mention of this not being supported in the docs and no mention of anybody else having problems with this which makes me wonder if I'm the one with the problem. Cut/paste works great with the standard Xvnc server and the same WinVNC viewer. This is a pain. Is it known not to work, or should it? This is the one thing that prevents me from completely abandoning Xnvc in favor of always just connecting to :0 via vnc.so. 3. My WinVNC viewer quits after a period of inactivity. This must come from vnc.so because the same viewer will stay connected to Xvnc indefinitely. Why does it do this? How can I disable this timeout? I see no mention of this as an option that I can insert into the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. 4. It would be nice if there were a way for applications to determine whether any viewer sessions were currently connected to :0. vnc.so surely knows when someone is connected. Maybe a status file under /proc could be created? The reason for this request is that I have my mailer (xemacs) do something different with URLs depending on whether I'm connecting over VNC or not. If I'm at the local console, I want URLs to open new tabs in Mozilla, while if I'm at home, I want them to just copy to the clipboard so I can paste them into a local windows browser. Yes, this wouldn't work anyway as it stands because cut/paste doesn't work, but assuming that gets fixed... 5. Maybe some kind of verbosity should be turned on for vnc.so? Put messages in /var/log/XFree86.*.log so people can more easily track down problems? Off by default, but enabled with an option in the XF86Config-4 file? Just a thought. Anyway, vnc.so generally works and is totally cool. Thanks! Jeff __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Find out what made the Top Yahoo!
