On our Redhat 5 machines we get: % rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts XFree86-3.3.1-14 You'll have to get this package before you can run VNC.

I think that vnc is a great idea. I have installed and played a little with it on Linux 2.0.33/libc 5.4.44/XFree 3.3.1 system. Works OK. Few problem/suggestions: 1) It looks like Xvnc doesn't support .pcf.gz fonts, only .Z compressed. It's a pity for Linux users (one should recompress all zillion fonts) and at least should be mentioned in docs. 2) Option -kill for vncserver script to gracefully shutdown previously started server would be nice. 3) It looks like netscape doesn't close sockets properly when moving away from the page with vnc client. This prevents restart of server with the same display number. 4) Support for non-latin (say, cyrillic) keyboards is certainly broken, but I didn't investigate this in details.

I don't understand why the server can't read rgb.txt, as it's world readable, and I can access it from the shell I'm using to run xncserver. As far as the fonts are concerned, could it be that Xvnc doesn't grok gzipped font files? BTW, I've no problems using my Windows desktop from Unix. Most impressive, super product!

Now for the begging.. What I'd like is to have an NT application server, running several applications for different end-users on different (Linux) machines. Any clues on how to do this (if at all possible) ? I tried with 'VDESK', which is included in Microsoft's NT Server Resource Kit (#2), but that wasn't satisfactory. I installed VDESK, logged in as myself on the main desktop, again as myself on desktop #2, and as Administrator on desktop #3. So far, so good. Then I started VNC on desktop #3 (as Administrator), set that to VNC display '2', and accessed that from a Unix box. I then tried to start a VNC on the main desktop, but that one complained that there was already a VNC running. :( However, VNC seems to work with VNC (I could switch desktops through a vncviewer as long as they were owned by the same user), but this doesn't seem a viable option for multiple concurrent users through VNC.

I prefer to display my PC on my SGI O2, because my O2 has a much larger/nicer monitor, and besides e-mail/news, I don't really use my PC. I compiled vncviewer under Irix 6.3, and it works fine. The PC and the SGI are on the same network hub, so the ping time between them is < 1ms. When I display my PC on the SGI, the response is ok, but not very fast. The update rate is kinda pokey. I've got the server set to refresh under the mouse only - not the full screen. Mouse tracking is pretty slow. Given the amount of information, and that this is a stateless system, I'm not too surprised, but is there anything I can do to speed things up? Oh, I'm running Win95, and I've tried resolutions from 640x480 to 1024x768 at 8bit and highcolor. Speed doesn't seem to change much. Lest I sound too critical, this is *very* cool.

These are the things I noticed first, too, 30 minutes after downloading :-) The other thing is that if you have the "Auto hide" option on the Windows Task bar, it can be a little tricky to bring it up. (I know ... don't do auto-hide then :-) But perhaps some edge resistance on the X window might help this. Someone mentioned the dependance that VNC has on someone logging on to (auto-) start the server. Well I s'spose you could start it as an NT service so that you can run it all the time. I have not done this before but it sounds like it is not too hard to do. Anyone? You would have to fix (2) above to make this work I guess. Another thing I noticed is a cosmetic issue: the windows background appears has a random colour and then is painted by black slowly with each mouse move. Is this a consequence of colour-depth differences between server and client? BTW, I think it's awesome too. -- -Matt From owner-vnc-list@orl.co.uk Wed Feb 25 04:56:52 1998 Received: from majordom by shallot.cam-orl.co.uk with local (Exim 1.73 #1) id 0y7Ytb-00068h-00; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 04:56:39 +0000 Received: from bish.midwest.net [204.248.41.216] (root) by shallot.cam-orl.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 1.73 #1) id 0y7YtY-00068b-00; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 04:56:37 +0000 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by bish.midwest.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA15835; Tue, 24 Feb 1998 23:10:35 -0600 Date: Wed, 25 Feb 1998 04:56:52 +0000 X-Original-Date: Tue, 24 Feb 1998 23:10:34 -0600 (CST) From: Mark Bishop X-Sender: mark@bish.midwest.net To: David Rees cc: vnc-list@orl.co.uk Subject: Re: Failed to establish all listening sockets In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-vnc-list@orl.co.uk Precedence: bulk I just chmod a+w but this is on my home machine.

First I started xfs (X font server) by typing /usr/bin/X11/xfs -port 7100 I did this at root, but I am not sure that is necessary. There are init files that start this up on my Debian system (Thought they are not active). Then in the vncserver script where you can add the -fp option to the command line (Around line 129), I put $cmd .= " -fp tcp/localhost:7100"; This seemed to fix things, and now I understand why. xfn I am sure understands gziped fonts, and the Xvnc understands how to talk to the font server. Hope this helps anyone out there. John C.

I saw referenct your Teleporting system, which is under a much more restrictive licens. Is there a reason that this is not also under the GPL? Is there any possibility that it could be released under the GPL at a later date. The reason is that I am not much of a Windows/Microsoft Guy. All of the work I do is under Unix/X. I would be very much interest in using this software, and maybe extending it. The problem is that I am not an educational instution (unless you count educating myself), and I like to give my work away so that others can benifit from it as I have benifited from previous work.

To allow this, the VNC viewer should handle a -readonly option to disable mouse and key events passing from the client. The changes are very small in the viewer code. I've made some performance tests with the server on NT 4.0 and the client on UNIX. The mouse handling is too slow on our fast network. I wonder what would happen over a modem... IMHO, the cursor should be handled separately. The cursor image should not be part of the "screen content" which is transmitted. The server should only send to the client the definition of the cursor (pixmap + mask) and its position. The VNC viewer should handle the cursor image, which is trivial in UNIX/X. ________________________________________________________ Lionel Cons http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/~cons CERN http://www.cern.ch - Hinds' 5th Law of Computer Programming The value of a program is proportional to the weight of its output.

After the first successfull test on a local (linux) machine, I wonder if I could use the viewer on a win-3.1 box that is connected to mine on a plip (1mbit/s) link.

I am too much a linux person, and don't have any windows compilers (nor any experience in using them).

There is something eating CPU time and Im not yet sure why. I don't know if the algorithms are being executed in a slow way or if its actually down to computational difficulties. 2. It seems a little too stateless. Put a fancy coloured background up and move windows around. I suspect a server setup that "knows" what the current client has seen can keep stateless over connections but increase performance massively since the "previous" 2 states for a given tile (even if you fix grid the previous state tiles) should include what you want (consider a button - states will be down, up, and maybe over - the previous tile cache would cover almost all gui element changes like that). 3. The bandwidth needs - as noted by others. You can cut this a chunk and add security by using the ssh tunneling facilities to run the protocol over an encrypted ssh tunnel.

The current Win32 viewer is multithreaded, which helps when it is connected to multiple servers at once, so it would need to be cut down to a single-threaded version. Tristan has a borrowed Win 3.1 machine at home and uses Java under IE4 to dial into work; IE4 also gives you the dialup PPP which is normally missing under 3.1. I think it's painfully slow, though... I hope to put a list of suggested projects like this on the web server later today, to see if anyone will volunteer to have a go. I don't have a compiler that does 16-bit any more - Microsoft no longer support it.

When it builds correctly, Xvnc doesn't rely on the normal installed X header files such as X11/Xtrans.h, it gets them from the Xvnc/include directory. Did you create a suitable .cf file for your platform in Xvnc/config and then run vncxmkmf, etc in the Xvnc directory?

(A different version number would have been > nice....) I've updated the 'test' version to try a different patch for this problem, which is with the Win32 server. The new test version is 3.3.1 R6. It doesn't render the mouse cursor at all now, which seems to fix the problem on our Windows 95 boxes. The new test version is available from the VNC web page at http://www.orl.co.uk/vnc. You can check what version of WinVNC you are running by selecting the About WinVNC menu item from the WinVNC tray menu. It should claim to be 3.3.1 R6, otherwise you are running an effectively un-patched version. Cheers, James "Wez" Weatherall -- Olivetti & Oracle Research Laboratory, Cambridge, UK.

The test version on the web page is now version 3.3.1 R6. If you have a version of WinVNC that claims to be "R5" and you are experiencing difficulties with it, we suggest that you try out "R6" from the VNC web page.

I finally got vncserver running on my Linux 2.0.33 box after very carefully changing the font and rgb paths in the startup script. My advise to to start the minimum fonts (75dpi and misc) and then add more as you wish/desire. Here is the relevant section of my vncserver file: $cmd .= " -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc/"; $cmd .= " -co /var/X11R6/lib/rgb"; For those of you still having problems with the linux version, make sure that you include the REAL paths, and not symlinks. This seemed to help clear things up for reasons still unknown. Note that the path for rgb is in /var, nor in /usr on my system. -Dave On Wed, 25 Feb 1998, shez wrote: > I had this problem yesterday - the problem was I had included some font > directories that should not be there; in my case the PEX directories. > Only font directories with fonts.dir inside them should be used.

I just tried R6. At first glance it looks better, but it still caused the following message (which I could only see from the Win95 machine): An Exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C1013E38 in VxD MSTCP(01) + 00008FB4.

Normally, yes, we will do this - the current version is 3.3.1, and all the packages are labelled with that. Major changes will involve a new version number, and we may use the R6 release convention for platform-specific changes. We haven't quite finalised that yet, but for the moment, I have put the R6 version number on the download page beside the button. Another improvement in R6 that Wez didn't mention is an extra check-box on the Properties page which causes all new incoming connections to be 'read-only' - they can view the screen but not move the cursor or type characters. A few people had mentioned the scenario of a teacher with several (possibly mischievous) pupils, so we thought this might be handy.
