Hello! I had Ubuntu Breezy and I just upgraded Ubuntu Dapper. I used vino for remote desktop, the VNC server "clone" included in Gnome. It's nice, but it's kinda slow. It seems no big improvements in Gnome 2.14 since Gnome 2.12, for vino.
Therefore, I want to use realvnc 4.1. I have downloaded vncviewer, vnc-common and vncserver from the Ubuntu Dapper repositories. All is perfect. After stopping vino I was able share my desktop with x0vncserver. I was also able to share virtual desktops/displays created with vncserver and Xvnc (awesome feature!). Now, as I've read in the documentation, the proper way is to use (lib)vnc.so as a module loaded from xorg.conf. I have properly configured everything. However, the problem is: when I connect with vncviewer (locally, or remotely, doesn't matter) the screen I see in vncviewer is corrupted (garbage). The server screen remains intact, just what shows in vncviewer display is garbaged. Meaning, libvnc.so doesn't properly "capture" the screen. Information: 1. the corrupted image *is* the real server display :0 screen. It's "garbaged" in the way the screen gets corrupted in Windows when you try an unsupported resolution on an older monitor with no protection. This means: if i go to the server and I open a window, I can see the result, live, in the viewer. If need, I can provide a screenshot. 2. I have nvidia geforce 2 mx, with the nvidia driver installed, which properly works. 3. Libvnc.so doesn't show me any logs (I don't even know how to exactly enabled logging). 4. manually starting X (so I can "hunt" for any stdout) won't show *any* errors. Libvnc.so is reported to be properly working. 5. I have googled, I have searched this mailing list: nothing. Someone can please help me? Any suggestions? How to do it? Or... where can I start for debugging? Thanks in advance to all. -- http://www.robodesign.ro ROBO Design - We bring you the future _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
