Hello all,
I just downloaded
and installed Fedora Core 1 on my linux test box. I generally don't
connect a monitor and keyboard directly to this machine (it's on a switchbox if
I need it), but usually when I need to do something w/X I will use VNC.
I've modified the ~/.vnc/xstartup file and uncomment the two lines @ the top
that say:
# Uncomment the
following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
so that I get the
normal desktop. In previous releases of RHL I've had no problems using VNC on
the "normal" desktop. However, when I start a VNC server on Fedora Core 1,
I can connect and do anything I want w/the mouse, but as soon as I try to type
something w/the keyboard, the VNC screen locks. I tried to request a
screen refresh, and that results in a disconnect from the VNC server. It
must have something to do w/the "normal" desktop, because if I re-comment those
2 lines, it brings up the twm desktop, and I can type in that one just
fine... I'm using the latest version of the windows client that is
available from realvnc.com, v3.3.7.
I noticed this in
the vnc log, not sure if it's relevant or not:
Window manager
warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension.
Does anybody know
why this is happening, or what I can do to fix it?
thx
k
