I am intrigued by this idea. I can't say right now
whether it's the trick or not though. Previously I
happened to mounted in textmode rather than binmode.
The Xvnc is indeed from the contrib directory. Upon
remounting in binmode, Xvnc promptly broke.
Is binmode mounting a better choice as a rule??
In looking at the Xvnc source, it looks like it is
designed for VC++ compilation solely, I saw no
parallel make system to build it under gcc.
You suggest converting the text files (to DOS I
think). Which files? All such in the /usr/X11R6
perhaps? Or just the ones pointed to by the
environment variables? Is not remounting in textmode a
cleaner solution?
I guess all this makes me think I chose the wrong
X-server. Is there a better choice?
Thanks.
