Previously, the radeon driver did not work correctly with the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) module if hardware acceleration was enabled. Consequently, a VNC client connected to a computer set up this way only displayed a blank screen. With this update, this problem has been resolved, and it is now possible to use VNC with the aforementioned setup.

Xorg log
Hi,
I was able to reproduce the "blank screen" issue when connecting to a VNC server using an Xorg module.
The component versions I was able to reproduce on were:
xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.3.99-2.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-31.el6.x86_64
tigervnc-server-module-1.1.0-16.el6.x86_64
Attaching Xorg log.

Hello, A customer have reported issue with Xorg based vnc showing blank screen. I am able to reproduce the problem locally. I see blank screen while connecting to Xorg based vnc configured on rhel6 using tigervnc server module.. Problem looks specific to radeon and that too one particular ES1000 hardware... e.g. In my testing I observed Radeon ES1000 VGA with Subsystem: 103c:31fb has problem but no problem with ES1000 VGA having Subsystem: 1028:01b3 Problem hardware: 01:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Then if I click on a listed user for login, password prompt is also displayed after delay of few minutes. Problem can be workaround by disabling acceleration using --> Option "NoAccel" "true" <-- in xorg.conf Drawing screen contents over vnc takes huge delay when acceleration is enabled? Customer would like the driver to work out of the box without needing to disable acceleration in configuration file. Regards, Ashish
