Bug Description

Binary package hint: x11vnc

I'm using x11vnc to connected to a dual-headed Xinerama display. Although the mouse can move across both heads in the VNC session, when the mouse is on the left head, no input events are directed to the windows on that head. I can't click on windows to move them around. Input focus is not directed to the windows on that head, so I can't type into those windows. Basically I can't interact with any windows on that head at all. Meanwhile, windows on the second head can be interacted with normally.

This used to work in Hardy, but has been broken since I upgraded to Ibex.

affects: libvncserver (Ubuntu) → x11vnc (Ubuntu)
