Confirmed
Added the x11-misc/vnc maintainers to CC, since this is also reproducible on that package. SuSe apparently got the the fixed vnc from RealVNC cvs (where is it??)

But the module of vnc does not work with 1.2.0 because it uses the 1.1.1 sources to build. x4vnc uses 4.3 Xfree86, i don't know how it worked with xorg 1.1. Can you point me to the link of SuSe?
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2007-01/msg01010.html Change log I was referring to from my openSuSe factory system The URL of the package is http://xorg.freedesktop.org/, read me says VNC 4.1.2 Source Distribution for Unix platforms ============================================== Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd. All Rights Reserved. And finally the most useful thing is probably the source rpm http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/src/xorg-x11-Xvnc-7.1-41.src.rpm Let me know how else I can help!
(In reply to comment #4) Err, they aren't using a cvs version of vnc. (it doesn't exist, btw). They were using a cvs version of xorg-server, which is needed to build it nowadays. And according to that commit, their vnc didn't work with xorg-server-1.1(that is, xorg-7.1) and that's what they fixed. They use the same patches as us. Which are the patches from Redhat/Fedora. Fedora doesn't use xorg-server-1.2.0 to build it yet. Probably the patches they/we use to build with xorg-server-1.1.1 won't work with 1.2.0.
hmmm I will try vnc on my openSuSe today then, see if it works and which version of xserver they are using (I am sure its pre-1.3). If it works, then is it possible to use that source rpm in gentoo?

vnc-4.1.2-r2 fixes this. Removing us from cc.
(real)vnc never worked for me, at least the vnc.so module for xorg. It freezes my machine after connecting with any VNC client and introducing the password. So I'm stuck with xf4vnc. Is there any chance to solve this problem in xf4vnc?
Probably http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/modular.html
Useless with any current xorg-server, lets just remove this.
Vote. +1 as per last comment
+1, no maintainer willing to work on it for over a year
Please DO NOT remove xf4vnc. It contains standalone X VNC server (/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvnc), which is very useful thing and works fine! I use it to run a windows application under Wine on a server - without the need to install xorg. If the vnc.so module is broken, remove it, but PLEASE do not remove xf4vnc.

Leaving something broken in the tree or masked indefinately is not really an option here. Is there anything else that fills this need for you? At any rate, leaving open for a while longer..please update this bug with more info. thx
No update so removed, please utilize the Sunrise project if desired. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/treecleaners/#doc_chap7
Created attachment 177278 [details] ebuild for Xvnc only This ebuild installs only Xvnc from xf4vnc.
xf4vnc-xnvc is now completely broken with jpeg-7 update as it's linked with libjpeg.so.62 which no longer exists. It does not matter much as Xvnc is also included in tightvnc - I switched to that version and it seems to work fine.

It seems that xf4vnc is still removed. Any chance of getting it back in portage tree? It seems to be only (AFAIK) vnc which has working RENDER extension - which allows qt4/kde4 apps to look normal (without artifacts). Or maybe someone knows replacement, which also has RENDER extension?
