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Does this mean that tigervnc is out of date and needs fixing or is it s problem with X?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.

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/

Thank you - I will try it and thanks for the link Uroš -- mike c
