[Bug 430448] New: sax2 breaks xorg built-in vnc server configuration
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430448 Summary: sax2 breaks xorg built-in vnc server configuration Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: bruce.lilly@gmail.com QAContact: sax2-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Community User Sax2's rewrite of xorg.conf removes some (but not all) of the lines critical to operation of the xorg built-in vnc extension. N.B. this is NOT about the "Remote Administration (VNC)" xinetd thing, or about krfb/krdc or vncviewer/vncserver or whatever gnome-ish things exist for vnc. The following lines are necessary for using the built-in VNC server (see also http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/doc.html#Xvnc but beware that information there mixes xorg and xfree86 configuration): first, in the "Module" section of xorg.conf: Load "vnc" second, additional "InputDevice" sections: Section "InputDevice" # vncKeyboard: keyboard actions from vnc Identifier "vncKeyboard" Driver "rfbkeyb" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # vncMouse: mouse actions from vnc Identifier "vncMouse" Driver "rfbmouse" EndSection third, in the "Device" section: Option "usevnc" Option "rfbauth" "/root/.vnc/passwd" Option "rfbport" "5900" Option "alwaysshared" Option "dontdisconnect" Option "httpdir" "/usr/share/vnc/classes" Option "httpport" "5800" fourth, in the "ServerLayout" section: InputDevice "vncKeyboard" "ExtraKeyboard" InputDevice "vncMouse" "ExtraPointer" When sax2 rewrites xorg.conf, it preserves some of this configuration, but elides other bits, rendering use of the built-in server impossible in an interactive manner. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The old files have a
Option "InputFashion" "VNC"
in each of the vnc-related InputDevice sections, and a line like
Option "VNC" "3 2"
("5 2" in one system's file) in the ServerLayout section. It's not clear what these do, if anything.
I'm rather sure that this is meta information written and required by SaX2 (ignored by the Xserver itself). With this information it should at least be possible for SaX2 10.3 to read in the VNC configuration again. Please attach these files, so I can test here with SaX2 on 11.1 as well. The behaviour on 11.0/11.1 shouldn't differ. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
