vncconfig problems | Fedora Core 5

[Evan Cooch]

Greetings -

I have vncserver (free edition 4.1.1) running just fine on my Fedora 
Core 5 box. However, what *isn't* running - at all - is vncconfig. When 
I try running vncconfig from a terminal within a Xvnc session, I get the 
following error message:

X Error of failed request: Badlength (poly request too larger or 
internal XLib length error)
   Major opcode of failed request: 134 (VNC-EXTENSION)
   Minor opcode of failed request:  1()
   Serial number of failed request:  63
  Current serial number in output stream:  63

One of the realities of FC 5 is that it uses Xorg, not XFree86. Also, 
this particular machine has nVidia video rivers rolled into the kernel - 
but I don't know how that could affect the problem.  I tried recompiling 
vnc, but it made no difference - same error message when I try to start 
vncconfig.

So, again, I'm having problems getting a component of vnc to 'play nice' 
with the way X11 is handled on Fedora boxes (which, by the way, will 
soon be the standard for RHEL boxes too).


Needless to say, I'd like to get vncconfig working - its the only 
practical way to do 'cut and paste' between my Windows machine (running 
the vncviewer), and the virtual Xvnc desktop.

Thanks in advance for any/all suggestions.
