 |
|
I use vnc viewer 4 to connect to remote gnome desktop, but some times there's a problem pulsed me.
Sometimes when I input a charactor, it auto repeat the input with out stop, even I press the esc key, I can't stop it.
Did some one ever encountered the same problem? I don't know how to fix it.
I disconenct VNC, stop x11vnc, and then reconnect, it still repeating. |

this suggest you need to use -repeat with x11vnc  .
Seems to be a bug in Xorg... |

but there's no repeat usage for this package.
| Code: | x11-misc/x11vnc-0.9.6 USE="crypt jpeg ssl threads zlib -avahi -system-libvncserver -v4l -xinerama" 0 kB

Ow sorry for the confusion. 
x11vnc -repeat
Quote from the manpage (x11vnc manpage that is ):
| Quote: | -norepeat, -repeat
Option -norepeat disables X server key auto repeat when
VNC clients are connected and VNC keyboard input is not idle for more than 5 minutes. This works around a repeating keystrokes bug (triggered by long processing delays between key down and key up client events: either from large screen changes or high latency). Default: -norepeat
Note: your VNC viewer side will likely do autorepeating,
so this is no loss unless someone is simultaneously at the real X display.
Use "-norepeat N" to set how many times norepeat will
be reset if something else (e.g. X session manager) undoes it. The default is 2. Use a negative value for unlimited resets. |

so, seems it's a bug of xorg-server. And it's said to be fixed w/ the packages:
xserver-xorg-core 1.7.3.902
gnome-settings-daemon 2.28.1 |

|

To get VNC to stop auto-repeating keystrokes over sluggish network link (commonly found with laptop over VPN), use the following command line approach:
It works for me!
I put it in my ~/.cshrc (or ~/.bashrc) profile startup script, sometimes if-then-fi and a test condition for a VPN-detected network-specific connection.
PS: Of course, you do this AFTER the first VNC login and at the FIRST VNC login's X-windows session. Subsequential login to other X-Windows-based host(s), are not required (unless, they too are distantly remote or heavily network-tunneled).
