Dear VNCusers Perhaps someone can help me. I recently upgraded from RH7.3 to Fedora Core I and hence got a new version of VNC (vnc-4.0-0.beta4.3 according to rpm).
I have several applications that seem to need BackingStore ON - if not, the graphics get erased once another window is on top. I manually set this to on in the XFree86 config file for the normal X server. It also used to work fine in VNC but no longer. I noticed that Backing Store and and Save under were OFF by default and by adding the +bs store option in the vncserver script, both set to ON. See the output to xdpyinfo attached below. However, backingstore still does not work. I am using viewers from win2000, but they havent changed. Any ideas ? Is this a bug or a new 'feature' in v4 ? Any help would be appreciated Gertjan name of display: :1.0 version number: 11.0 vendor string: The XFree86 Project, Inc vendor release number: 40300000 XFree86 version: 4.3.0 maximum request size: 4194300 bytes motion buffer size: 256 bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, LSBFirst, 32 image byte order: LSBFirst number of supported pixmap formats: 2 supported pixmap formats: depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32 depth 16, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32 keycode range: minimum 8, maximum 255 focus: window 0x20000e, revert to Parent number of extensions: 21 BIG-REQUESTS DEC-XTRAP DOUBLE-BUFFER Extended-Visual-Information FontCache LBX MIT-SCREEN-SAVER MIT-SHM MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD RECORD SECURITY SHAPE SYNC TOG-CUP VNC-EXTENSION X-Resource XC-APPGROUP XC-MISC XFree86-Bigfont XTEST XVideo default screen number: 0 number of screens: 1 screen #0: dimensions: 1800x1100 pixels (457x279 millimeters) resolution: 100x100 dots per inch depths (2): 1, 16 root window id: 0x26 depth of root window: 16 planes number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1 default colormap: 0x21 default number of colormap cells: 64 preallocated pixels: black 0, white 65535 options: backing-store YES, save-unders YES largest cursor: 1800x1100 current input event mask: 0xd83f3d KeyPressMask ButtonPressMask ButtonReleaseMask EnterWindowMask LeaveWindowMask Button1MotionMask Button2MotionMask Button3MotionMask Button4MotionMask Button5MotionMask ButtonMotionMask SubstructureNotifyMask SubstructureRedirectMask PropertyChangeMask ColormapChangeMask number of visuals: 2 default visual id: 0x22 visual: visual id: 0x22 class: TrueColor depth: 16 planes available colormap entries: 64 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xf800, 0x7e0, 0x1f significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x23 class: DirectColor depth: 16 planes available colormap entries: 64 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0x3f, 0x7c0, 0xf800 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits -- ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// work : 604-982-3574 E-mai l : [EMAIL PROTECTED] web : http://koslx1.triumf.ca/gertjan ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
