All,
I have a serious beef right now with VNC.
I am using VNC to connect a Win-XP client to a Linux server (FVWM on X).
If I want to use the scroll-wheel, I have to run "Tight VNC" viewer.
I have it working with the previous and current RealVNC versions (3 and 4). I have to say I use the vnc-server that comes with RedHat 9.
If I want to use the mouse buffer to cut/paste between Windows and Linux, I have to run "RealVNC" viewer.
Not necessarily. You can also open `xclipboard` in the session and use the select buffer to move between desktop and vnc-server:
From desktop to vnc:
- Open `xclipboard` in the vnc session and have a clean buffer available
- copy text at the desktop (pictures are not transfered)
- paste with your middle mouse button in xclipboard window
- copy and paste from xclipboard to your application using the mouse buttons (select with right button and paste with the middle button)
from vnc to desktop: - open `xclipboard` - copy from app to select buffer in xclipboard - select the text in xclipboard (with right mouse button) and keep it selected! - use past on the desktop.
Details: older applications that do NOT have a cut-copy-paste menu, like xterm, do work without xclipboard. This is because vnc only transfers the select buffer, not the cut-copy-paste buffer.
Does anyone know how to make cut/paste work in Tight VNC?
Or how to make scroll events work in RealVNC?
Scrolling is not perfect with older applications: they donnot know what to do with it.
