I am new to using VNC and am having a frustrating problem with keystroke spewage. While connected to my remote app, I'll type a keystroke and it will ultimately be echoed to my application multiple times. My setup is as follows:
Environment ----------- Client: VNC4.1.2 on winxp sp2 Network: Internet - VPN client (cisco 4.0.5) Server: Fedora 3 running vnc server provided with distro (vnc-server-4.0-8). Remote app: emacs (emacs-21.3-17). This is what I always use, but I've also seen spewage in xterms etc... I googled for 'keystroke repeated vnc' etc... and various permutations and combinations of similar english text and did not find anything useful. Any history on this or solution would be appreciated. VNC aside, I've used the same setup to run other apps via vpn and have not seen this problem. If keystrokes are sent 1 character at a time over the network, it almost seems like the vnc client app is resending the packet for a given keystroke because it perceives the prior packet (keystroke) to have been dropped ... when in fact they all arrive and barf all over my screen. This problem is intermittent, so network latency could very well be a large contributing factor.
