Description Jeff 2008-11-12 04:54:28 UTC
Created attachment 323295 [details]
patch to include in SOURCES to enable the GLX extension

Description of problem:
vnc-server goes not support the GLX extension, it is possible to compile the current source rpms to include the extension using the attached patches.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vnc-4.1.2

How reproducible:
Try to run glxgears in a VNC session

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start a vncserver
2.  Connect using vncviewer
3.  run glxgears
  
Actual results:
Fails to run because GLX extensions are not available

Expected results:
Display GLX gears

Additional info:
Attached patch enables GLX, and can be added to the vnc.spec file normally.  It is necessary to add -I/usr/include/drm to CFLAGS to avoid a compile error.  That is a hack, I'm sure a less invasive change can be made. 

This mirrors bug 451789 for RHEL5, but is much easier to address in the latest fedora.

Right you are, GLX is not built but patch is quite different, vnc.def is not used during compilation at all.
