xf4vnc

Hi All,

This is a note from the xf4vnc site.  This should be good when its stable.

Cheers

Miles

Release Name: 4.3.0.100 <showfiles.php?group_id=48178>
Notes:
This is a BETA release !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE MODIFIED XF4VNC DRIVERS WITH THIS RELEASE. IF YOU DO,
YOU WILL UNDOUBTABLY CRASH THE XSERVER.

This new beta of the vnc.so module no longer requires the modified video
drivers and therefore works with the stock video drivers shipped with
XFree86 4.3.0. It should also work with the binary nVidia, ATI and other
manufacturers drivers.

You may also need to specify 'Option "SWcursor"' in your XF86Config file for
now, until the cursor code is updated.

Please file any bugs you find with this release under the bugs section.

Thanks for testing.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I used a newer version of mknbi 
(Ken Yap's version 1.2.7) and it loads the ethernet image fine. You may 
want to update mknbi in the Thinstation tree since it uses a very old 
version of it. Now to get the Cyrix 5530 video and rdesktop working...

Re: Thinstation 1.0beta4

Hi Miles!

...Just tested!

And really happy to see that the foot-print is constantly decreasing....
;o)

...These are the problems I've found:

- no autodetect for usb mouse:

I have to manually specify both

X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL="PS/2"
X_MOUSE_DEVICE=/dev/input/mice

In ts 0.92 my usb mouse was correctly autodetected...

- my ne2000 isa card doesn't work....the module "ne" fail to load

...Amd some suggestions:

- Instead of using the VNCPASSWD and ROOTPASSWD files, I'd like to see
in build.conf something like:

set rootpasswd pleasechangeme
set vncpasswd pleasechangeme

- some cleanup in build.conf comments:
  - change "package xf4-apm # XFree86 4.3 drivers" (it was 4.2)

RE: Problens with xf4vnc

debian may not like vncpasswd program I compiled, the source for the program
is in the thinstation/utils/tools/vncpass_src, try recompiling it and
replacing it on  your system.  recompiling it should just be a case of
running the setup script

Thinstation Question on Xserver

Hi All,

Does anyone use these packages?

xf3-s3
xf3-svga
xf3-vmware

If not I would like to remove them, does anyone disagree with this?

Cheers
