Patch Xvnc to remove old work-around no longer needed that causes problems with GDM
Fixed in 3.3.3r2-41, which will appear in rawhide shortly. Thanks. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: It is possible to configure a display manger to launch Xvnc instead the regular Xserver. This works with xdm for example, but not with gdm. Looking into it I found an old hack that was applied to Xvnc to work around a LinuxThreads bug that is no longer needed. Removing this hack makes Xvnc and gdm work together. Here is the patch. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure GDM to launch Xvnc 2.Notice that it doesn't work 3.Apply patch, recompile Xvnc, it now works. Actual Results: n/a Expected Results: n/a Additional info: diff -ur vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/programs/Xserver/os/connection.c vnc_unixsrc-gurulabs/Xvnc/programs/Xserver/os/connection.c --- vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/programs/Xserver/os/connection.c Mon May 11 11:02:17 1998 +++ vnc_unixsrc-gurulabs/Xvnc/programs/Xserver/os/connection.c Tue Oct 15 16:22:27 2002 @@ -379,7 +379,7 @@ BEGIN ORL VNC modification Don't use SIGUSR1 - linuxthread uses this internally */ -/* REMOVE +/* no longer true 10/15/02 */ if (OsSignal (SIGUSR1, SIG_IGN) == SIG_IGN) RunFromSmartParent = TRUE; ParentProcess = getppid (); @@ -388,7 +388,6 @@ kill (ParentProcess, SIGUSR1); } } -*/ /* END ORL VNC modification ================================================================*/
