I can't read the bug report #667577 (not authorised) so I cannot inquire further.

Unrelated. Xvnc doesn't support the RANDR extension (never did). -- 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.

But if Xvnc never supported RANDR then maybe my problem launching Yast2 from the GUI is not related to RANDR. Presumable I should expect to be able to launch Yast2 in a VNC display? I would certainly be keen to try the fix in xauth as I am trying to do exactly what Dmitry is trying to do.

Exactly.

Yes.

It has been addressed for openSUSE:Factory, i.e. openSUSE 12.2. -- 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.
