I spoke too soon - the workaround I suggested does not fix the problem ! With the new version in the recent updates (vnc-4.1.1-38.fc5) this problem is resolved. Therefore please close this bug as resolved. |
Description of problem: vnc connection with settings on auto ( with a fast connection ) produces display corruption and excessive updates, as well as initiating screensaver every few seconds on the remote (server) machine. This makes using the connection very difficult. The initial screen if the remote machine is on the login screen repaints at high colour depth and is stable initially, but as soon as user login is achieved at the remote machine the above problems begin. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):vnc-4.1.1-36.fc5 ( and previous version ) How reproducible:Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. on the server machine in xorg.conf include Load "vnc", and have Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "passwordFile" "/opt/Local/etc/vnc/passwd" or similar 2. restart X on server machine 3. use vnc client to make vnc connection to the server machine Actual results:If both machines running FC5 up to date with yum updates, then screen repainting occurs too frequently (with cursor switching to a dot frequently) and the highest colour depth is used. The remote machine tries to start the screensaver (for KDE) every few seconds, and once logged out the screen does not repaint properly until the mouse is moved over the text - which does appear when the mouse is passed over text on the remote machine. The cursor changes to a "dot" after a very short time of inactivity. Expected results:The client screen should look the same as server screen. It should not repaint at a rate which cannot give a usable desktop on the client. Additional info:This can be worked around by selecting "F8" and choosing "Options", then unselecting "auto select" and changing the colour setting to "Medium (256) colours". Once this has been done then the connection behaves and is usable. This should not be necessary to get a reliable and trouble free connection. The default should give a working connection.
