David, Glad it works. It is great to be able to connect and get resolutions and color depths that aren't even supported by the hardware. Most of my Linux boxes can only do 1024x768 in 8 bit color mode, so running at 1600x1200 at 32 bit color (vnc) is NICE!!
In your case, if you want to run max resolution with no scrolling, you could also consider full screen mode, but you would have to use <ALT><TAB> or equivalent to switch back to windows. The beauty of full-screen mode is that the "X" in the upper right is gone, so you can't accidentally kill your session (at least it is not as easy). You are right, pressing the "x" in Windows is equivalent to <CTRL><ALT><BACKSPACE> at the console. It will nail your session and reset the terminal (close the session in the case of VNC). You'd think the windows version could just intercept the message to close the window and initiate a clean session shutdown (dependent on the remote O.S.) OR at least give you an optional prompt to prevent you from killing yourself prematurely. So did you get all the files? There were 4 total. Jeff >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/14/02 02:48PM >>> I have it working now, exactly as you have said in your email. It was my mistake, not reading throroughly. My bin dir is under /usr rather than /usr/local. I am using RH6.2 using KDE. It is working beautifully. I have even gone so far as to modiify the resolution settings so that I can fit the whole lot on my screen without scrolling. (1024x768 on a 1024x768 screen results in scrolling, so I have set this to 1000x700, on my laptop, 1400x1050, I have set this to 1390x990. Works a treat. No scrolling.) The only thing now is though, if you press the X, it doesn't ask you if you want to logout, you lose your whole session. Also, the machine reboot doesn't tell you either. It just kills your session. Perhaps a future enhancement would be to detect what OS you are connected to, then retreive the relevant messages so that work is not lost. I also found out why it was going slow on my machine. My firewall seems to be slowing all the traffic down. I think I will be using Linux for quite a while now I can use it under Windows. Still a lot to learn though. The files that you have sent, with your permission, I would like to do an article on my site (not a busy site, yet!!!) to let people know how to set it up on RH. Then when this Q comes up again, I can send people to the article. Regards. Dave Colliver. --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
