[arch-general] Help with tigervnc problem - may be a package update required?
I have for a long time been using tigervnc until a few months ago and loading the vnc module via xorg.conf with two relevant sections: Section "Module" Load "vnc" EndSection and Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Option "passwordFile" "/opt/Local/etc/vnc/passwd" EndSubSection EndSection However this results in Xorg.0.log as: [ 8.219] (II) LoadModule: "vnc" [ 8.233] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so [ 8.375] (II) Module vnc: vendor="Constantin Kaplinsky" [ 8.375] compiled for 1.12.3, module version = 1.0.0 [ 8.375] Module class: X.Org Server Extension [ 8.375] ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 6.0 [ 8.375] (EE) module ABI major version (6) doesn't match the server's version (7) [ 8.375] (II) UnloadModule: "vnc" [ 8.375] (II) Unloading vnc [ 8.377] (EE) Failed to load module "vnc" (module requirement mismatch, 0) Does this mean that tigervnc is out of date and needs fixing or is it s problem with X? Thanks for any advice. -- mike c

Tigervnc needs patching for xorg-server-1.13. As an alternative, you can use the svn version from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tigervnc-svn/

I have downloaded and compiled the tigervnc-svn package from AUR as you suggested, and also installed the dependency fltk-snapshot from AUR as required before making the package - it generates the package file and installs with pacman -U just fine. The issue I had is not a problem with this version, and it works like a champ! So I am very relieved and grateful for the svn AUR package! Thank you. -- mike c
