Kimberly, If possible, I'd recommend installing Gentoo's RPM-handling tools and install the latest VNC 4.1.1 RPM, which is a complete re-write of VNC and is built against the newer XFree86 version 4.
I'll ask our friends at Gentoo whether they might provide a more up to date emerge package for VNC sometime soon. :) Regards, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kimberly McKinnis > Sent: 02 August 2005 21:58 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Unknown encoding type, broken pipe, *boom* > > Hey all..
