Subject: Need to move my mouse to refresh VNC session
Hi,
During a VNC session, when I type something in an X-term window, nothing
appears until I move my mouse a little. Moving the mouse is required to
see
what has transpired on the VNC screen. Any thoughts on to what this
might
be?
Thanks,
Marty
Marty:
Do U happen to be using Cygwin xterms with a 'multiwindow' Xserver
on a Windows machine?
I use Cygwin tools on my MSWindows machines, and use all the
defaults for startxwin.exe to start the Xserver, which starts up
in multiwindow mode. I used to use 'fullscreen' mode, in which
the Xserver never had any update problem (and still doesn't, when
I can get it running), but fullscreen mode seems not to be supported
by startxwin.exe any longer (I haven't checked the source code
yet, though). When started using the older bash script, the Xserver
doesn't start up reliably (I think that's why the maintainer
switched to an executable), so I don't use fullscreen mode any
more. In multiwindow mode, all the X-based tools often seem to
need a keystroke or a mouse wiggle to update when they first gain
focus. I'm not sure if this is due to X resources, the Xserver
itself, or the Cygwin port of the X packages, but it's a place to
start looking.
Thx, Phil Long
