Hi,

It seems a recent update has pulled in x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.2-r2 and having re-emerged various drivers I've got it working, except for one thing: I've been using the vnc module from tigervnc to get a vnc connection to display :0, but now if I make a connection and press a key it causes xorg to crash instantly. (Nothing seem to be written to the log file when this happens).

The display works from the console (well, Ctrl-Alt-Function-key switching doesn't seem to be reliable but this may not be relevant) and I can use virtual displays run from Xvnc with no problem.

I've just updated from net-misc/tigervnc-1.1.0-r2 to net-misc/tigervnc-1.1.0-r3 but it doesn't behave differently.

(I'm using kde if that helps, I haven't tried with a different login manager but I don't think this is the problem.)

Does anyone else have this issue or have any suggestions as to where I should start looking?

Thanks!

Gentoo uses an old xorg111.patch for tigervnc. Get the newest one from Fedora, it fixes this issue: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=tigervnc.git;a=blob;f=tigervnc11-xorg111.patch;h=ee0ddb999c45e717b3c2707dd3df5b2732e211d3;hb=HEAD

When can I expect this to hit portage?

In the mean time, looks like I'll have to make a local portage copy of tigervnc (/usr/local/portage/net-misc/tigervnc) to house this updated patch, correct?

When someone files a bug report. I'm lazy and I don't have a bugzilla account.
