That would allow the server to use a fallback driver like fbdev. Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature

oh no message.
Hi, I got instructed from debian-user list that I should open a bugreport to GUI people. Unfortunalty I got no idea where to start. Basically on a fresh install wheezy (for instance in a vbox guest, but this has nothing to do with vbox it happen on my thinclient, desktop, and server as well, I mention vbox as a possiblity to reproduce fast) so on a fresh install, add the vnc4server package. Then setup vncserver (passwd and xstartup) xstartup:: #!/bin/sh xsetroot -solid grey /usr/bin/gnome-session& (here you may do gnome-session-fallback) then on a vnclient connect to this new you got a plain initial gnome-fallback (doing gnome-session instead of gnome-session-callback does the same) there win+alt+right-click on the top-panel bar (out of any tabs, middle of nothing) It show the custom popup [add to panel...] [Properties] [Delete this panel] click Properties, then [background] tab click [x] Solid color Kaboom, you never use this account again I discovered that the file .config/dcong/user got somewhat corupted preventing any further progress, and even reconect, respawn a new vncserver don't allow to log again. Only the remove of .config/dconf/user allow a retry. I noticed that the same happen on ubuntu raring, so I guess this should not be logged on debian, yet this is on debian that I wanted to work on. Thanx in advance for any enlightment. Cheers, Phi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Not sure why the fallback isn't working properly, I guess we'd have to see at least the Xorg.0.log file corresponding to that case. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
