I'm in the same boat as Rob, on the same platform. I built VNC from the
vnc-3.3.3r2_unixsrc.tgz tarball at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/download, with
Adam Thornton's patch (config support in Xvnc/config/cf/Imake.cf,
Xvnc/config/cf/linux.cf, and Xvnc/config/image/imakemdep.h) applied. vncserver starts
and does indeed serve out a desktop (I'm using the Windows 98 vncviewer). As Rob
says, the xterm contents are truly garbled, but I find that the keyboard works just
fine. The echoed characters are gibberish, but commands typed into xterm do what they
should (e.g. "write" sends intelligble messages to other users, "exit" closes the
window, etc.).
Is it possible I've got some kind of character-translation problem on my hands? Some
font resource I need but VNC can't find and isn't complaining about? The
~/.vnc/<host>:<dpy>.log file doesn't have any hints for me, it shows the connection
arriving and later leaving, with nothing in between.
Anybody got a hint where to look next?
Many thanks,
