Comment 28 for bug 180619

Please see below for a vnc.so from Steinar H. Gunderson which works (for me) with Xorg 1.4.
I'd like to invite all of you to try it too.
Eventually, someone who has the necessary Debian binary packaging skills can hopefully volunteer to package this.

Steinar,

Your vnc.so works for me, with Xorg 1.4, to gain access to the native X console's gdmgreeter login screen.

Thank you so, so much.

Most Sincerely,
Bill Loucks

Do I understand correctly that you have a vnc.so which, when loaded by Xorg
1.4, does not crash Xorg on first keypress or first mouse click by the vnc
client? If so, could you send that vnc.so to me, and/or make it available
somewhere for download?

I haven't been using it a while, since I switched to x0vncserver, but you
could try http://home.samfundet.no/~sesse/vnc.so, which seems to be a binary
I built on October 1st 2007. :-)
