Description Jack 2009-09-25 06:38:13 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tigervnc-server-1.0.0-1.fc12.x86_64
tigervnc-1.0.0-1.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load default configuration of vncserver in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
   with uncommented lines as follows...
   VNCSERVERS="1:user"
   VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1024x768 -nolisten tcp -nohttpd -localhost"
2. Start vncserver
  
Actual results:
   Error with the following message:

   Starting VNC server: 1:user
WARNING: The first attempt to start Xvnc failed, possibly because the X Font
Server is not running and this system does not use a font catalog.  Attempting
to determine an appropriate font path for this system and restart Xvnc using
that font path ...
Could not start Xvnc.

                   black-listed (default=5)
  ImprovedHextile - Use improved compression algorithm for Hextile encoding
                   which achieves better compression ratios by the cost of
                   using more CPU time (default=1)
  RemapKeys      - Comma-separated list of incoming keysyms to remap.  Mappings
                   are expressed as two hex values, prefixed by 0x, and
                   separated by -> (default=)
  ZlibLevel      - Zlib compression level (default=-1)
