<--- some time after below ---> Ok, I disabled the "Key presses repeat when key is held down" button in the gnome->Preferences->Keyboard window. We'll see if this does the trick. I'm actually in the office today, so I'll have to wait until I'm remote to see if it works. <--- some time prior to above ---> This looks like it might be related. http://www.realvnc.com/products/enterprise/4.1/known-bugs.html Of course, the instructions don't apply to a gnome desktop, so now I have to figure out how to map the fix to a gnome desktop environment. > > Thanks, > Brian > > -----Original Message----- > From: James Weatherall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 4:12 AM > To: Brian Auld; [email protected] > Subject: RE: keystroke spewage > > Brian, > > It sounds like your VNC X desktop has keyboard repeat enabled > - you should disable this in order to avoid "spewage". > > Regards, > > Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Auld > > Sent: 16 August 2006 01:41 > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: keystroke spewage > > > > I am new to using VNC and am having a frustrating problem with > > keystroke spewage.
