RE: [ovforum] RE: Trouble with VNC and OpenView
I have also had this problem. I have VNC 3.3.3r2 on Solaris 8 running the server half and VNC 3.3.3r7 on WIN2K running the viewer. I retrieved the previous versions from the VNC site and still have the same problem. I retrieved VNC 3.3.2r2 from an old backup and ran a server instance on my Solaris box; still VNC 3.3.3r7 viewer on WIN2K. This does not have the right mouse problem. Therefore, the problem appears to have been introduced in the VNC server after 3.3.2r2. Here is a difference: xmodmap -pp # prints the current pointer map There are 3 buttons in VNC 3.3.2r2; there are 5 buttons in 3.3.3r1 and r2. I don't know if this is what is causing the problem or not. I searched the VNC mailing list archive and found some discussion of this issue in 2000/06 and 2000/10 but no resolution.

RE: Trouble with VNC and OpenView
Fred's suggestion solved the problem. I only changed the 5 to 3 in the InitPointerDeviceStruct line in init.c. It seems clear that HP OV NNM binds it's "middle" and "right" menus to the last two buttons rather than explicitly to buttons 2 and 3. I found this behavior on olwm and afterstep as well, fvwm2 worked OK with the 5 button pointing device init.

Looks like line 627 in init.c () has a: InitPointerDeviceStruct(pDev,map,5,miPointerGetMontionEvents, ... Someone could try changing this to ...map,3,... to see what it does. Could probably bring the map array down to a size of 4 (for a max index of 3) also. Or maybe you need to change the map settings in the previous lines. May be the third button actually maps to the "last" button on the actual device, or 5 in the new code.

RE: (X) window location & size
I added the directive "RandomPlacement" in "/usr/openwin/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc" on my Solaris box. You will need to find where the "system.twmrc" file is placed on Linux. Also if you specify geometry on any clients started in the xstartup file, they will be placed. By all means, though, do read the man page since there is a more complete discussion in there.

This has to do with the window manager in X. Some (most?) window managers have a resource/setting/option called window placement policy. In your case the default must be something like "ask", which lets the user place the window. Other possible settings are "random" or even "smart". If you are using twm (as the vncserver script calls by default), check the man pages for twm. As you can tell by now, this is window manager specific, and not a whole lot to do with X per se.

I sit outside of my firewall on a pc and connect through the firewall to my Solaris servers with vnc without a single hitch ... until now ... I have just loaded one of my servers with Solaris 8 and try as I may I cannot connect to either of the vnc ports on the server from my pc. I know that the vnc server is running as it is supposed to be because I can telnet to port 5801 from the server . I also know that it is not a firewall problem because the firewall logs show the connections and there are no dropped or rejected packets. Snooping the interface on the server I see the incoming packets from my PC but there are NO outgoing packets the logs on my firewall confirm the same! The vnc log file does NOT log the connection attempts from my PC but does log the connection attempts I make from the server itself with telnet. Now I know that SUN have made some serious attempts to increase the network security within Solaris 8 but cannot imagine where this particular problem is coming from OH I have also created a seperate user on this server from which I run the vncserver as I thought it may have somthing to do with a root user security issue but no luck there either .
