I have seen this behavior on NT 4.0 as server. Solaris 2.7 as viewer (not
full screen). Both blank due to the Solaris screen saver. Now I can send the
ctrl+alt+delete but none of the other keys work. I have to send a remote
reboot to the NT server to get it to reboot and give me my keys back. I
loose keys from the vncviewer and on the local keyboard, I have tried
another connection both Java and native from another machine both Solaris
and NT and still no keys till I reboot.

Subject: vnc & screen savers
I have a strange problem when using Xvnc and screen savers. If Xvnc is
in full-screen mode and xscreensaver blanks the screen both locally
and on the remote end the keyboard is no longer recognized by the
viewer. It's not just that the viewer doesn't send the keys, it
appears that it doesn't receive them either. I.e. I can alt-F1 to a
virtual console (to kill the viewer), but I can't hot-key out of
full-screen or get the pop-up menu.
This only happens when both the local and the remote xscreensaver have
blanked the screen and vncviewer is in full-screen mode. The mouse
still works though. Also if vncviewer is windowed there are no problems
when both ends blank.
Note: All boxen are linux.
Any body else seen this?
I'm not convinced yet that this is a vncviewer problem, I'm just
curious if any one else has seen it. I poked though the archives, to
no avail.
Bill.
