vncserver won't start xterm, twm from .vnc/xstartup
Hello, We use many Solaris (8 & 9) machines to create virtual desktops (Xvnc), and have done so successfully for years. However, one Solaris 9 machine has us stumped, because .vnc/xstartup won't create xterm or twm. However, after Xvnc is started, one can successfully force xterm and twm into them via: $ DISPLAY= xterm & $ DISPLAY= twm & However, we shouldn't have to do it this way. Here's our .vnc/xstartup contents: #!/bin/sh [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & twm & Basically just the default one (minus the vncconfig line). The .vnc/.log file contents (first half) are: Xvnc Free Edition 4.1.1 - built Mar 22 2005 15:01:29 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd. See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC.

One peculiarity that may be worth mentioning is that permissions on /tmp/.X11-* are these on the "bad" machine (I'm kpl): drwxrwxrwt 2 kpl misc 176 Aug 30 14:51 .X11-pipe drwxrwxrwt 2 kpl misc 176 Aug 30 14:51 .X11-unix and these on a couple sampled "good" machines: drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 176 Aug 25 12:07 .X11-pipe drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 176 Aug 25 12:07 .X11-unix I had removed -fr /tmp/.X11-* on the "bad" machine, but they got subsequently recreated the same way (with kpl ownership). I don't know that this has anything to do with it, though. -Kurt Lloyd, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
Re: broken free edition download link?
Wez, I reload. No luck. Weird thing is, I get the new (good) download.html page on my Mac using Safari. Mozilla on this same Mac retrieves the same bad page my Solaris browsers get. Does download.html get generated on the fly? If so then could realvnc.com sometimes serve-up a page that refers to download-free.html (bad) and sometimes serve-up a page that refers to products/free/4.1/download.html ?? -Kurt James Weatherall wrote: Kurt, You need to refresh your copy of the download.html page.

Re: colors issue in VNC 4 viewer
I can tell you what works for me: $ vncserver -pixelformat RGB565 or $ vncserver -pixelformat RGB888 -Kurt Lloyd, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Satish wrote: Hi all, I have a custom application implementing the basic VNC server protocol ( RFB protocol version 3.3) that sends out pictures to the RealVNC viewer on a Windows 2000 PC. The application works fine when I use the older 3.3.7 VNC viewer application on the PC, but if I use VNC 4.0 viewer on the PC , the colors on the images are off. ( the images themselves get displayed OK, its just the colors that are not accurate) I'm using the viewer in "read-only" mode, and my server application sends out raw-encoded pictures in 32-bit color. I clicked on the appropriate check-boxes on the PC viewer to support raw-encoding and 32-bit color. I'm using VNC 4.0 viewer on the PC since I found its much faster than the older version ( thanks to James Weatherall for the tip ! ). Is there anything I can look at to explain or fix the color problem I'm seeing ? Any suggestions or advice much appreciated.
