Subject: libvnc.so extension does not work

Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2007 20:18:11 +0530

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: vnc4server
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-21
Severity: important

I use the libvnc.so module in vnc4server to export the active X
display through vnc.
Following an xorg upgrade the display is badly smeared when viewed through vnc.

My xserver-xorg versions are:

ii  xserver-xorg                         1:7.2-5              the X.Org X server
ii  xserver-xorg-core                    2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-6     X.Org X
server -- core server

I am attaching my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log.

[xorg.conf (application/octet-stream, attachment)]

[Xorg.0.log (text/x-log, attachment)]

Hi

What do you mean with "badly smeared" ?

The display shown through vncviewer has pixels with the right colours
but in all the wrong places. And the bottom half seems to be black.

When I filed the bug I hoped it would be fixed if the module was
rebuilt against the new Xorg. But I tried building the libvnc.so
module for the new Xorg using vnc-4_1_2 from realvnc, and it was still
showing the same problem. I suppose it is some problem in the part
where the vnc server part gets the pixel values for a region from the
X server. I will try to pinpoint the problem further.

Also, I don't know if the problem is specific to my hardware.
I am using the xorg intel driver on 82865G Integrated Graphics.

I was trying to check if the problem occurs even using the dummy
driver instead of the intel driver (behaving like Xvfb), but I didn't
manage this since the Xorg program insisted on overriding my
configured dummy driver and detecting the intel graphics.

Regards,
Srinivas

Ok, not good. I have not upgraded from etch yet, so I can not reproduce
it at this moment.

If you could do that, it would really be great!

That is a possibility.

Subject: libvnc.so removed

Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:03:15 +0200

Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-22

vnc4 (4.1.1+X4.3.0-22) unstable; urgency=low

  * Moving things from vnc4-common to vnc4server package and now conflict on
    old no longer created package.
  * Removed libvnc.so that do not work with recent xorg. This is a workaround
    but solves the grave fault, closes: #444697. No longer provides
    x0vnc-server.
  * Applied patch from Jussi Judin <jjudin+debian@iki.fi> that solves
    the issue that .vnc directory can not be a symbolic link, closes:
    #411185.
  * Applied patch from Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com> that solves gcc
    4.3 build problems, closes: #417740.
