x11vnc and vncviewer

bigman51 · 12-10-2007, 10:40 PM

I have a Mandriva 2007 computer with x11vnc loaded on it. Can start that through ssh no problem and I can see the computer when I use vncviewer. However none of my mouse clicks or keystrokes are being recognized. When I hover the mouse over an object on the desktop it highlights and the description bubble pops up but when I click on it nothing happens.

Let me know if you need and log files or anything.

Thanks for your help.

Did you compile it yourself? Sounds like this problem:

i.e. it was built on a system that didn't have the development package for the XTEST library libXtst.so
installed (the package that installs that library's header file and compilation symlink).
