(In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > We had a small issue that an EL5 user wanted to use a GLX-aware > research application (MedINRIA) over VNC. Although we were not > actually using the 3D parts of the app, it crashes because > vnc-server does not enable GLX. However, I found that the > Fedora 7 package vnc-server-4.1.2-14.fc7 which is slightly > newer does enable GLX and the app runs fine on Fedora 7. I > would like to request a newer vnc-server in the > next EL5 update (maybe 5.2). > > Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): > vnc-server-4.1.2-9.el5 Yes, we will speak about rebase to vnc from F7 or F8 because it is far more stable that RHEL5 version.
