Bug#495543: x11vnc: Can't load vnc.so as X11 module for remote connect to working X session
Package: x11vnc
Version: 0.9.3.dfsg.1-1
Severity: important
I want to install vnc as Xorg module for remote connecting to active display (system-started method).
In Debian Etch, Fedora and many other systems I do it like in this manual:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_VNC_to_connect_to_existing_X_Sessions#Method_2:__X_Server_.28system-started.29_method
1. Install vnc4server
2. Add 'Load "vnc"' and some else string in xorg.conf
3. Restart Xorg
4. Connect to current Xorg display.
But in Lenny I haven't found vnc.so in package vnc4server.
I have found it in x11vnc package.
And now I can't load it as Xorg module. I create a symlink
from /usr/lib/xrdp/libvnc.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/vnc.so
and add 'Load "vnc"' line to xorg.conf.
And when X server starts, it shows the errors:
# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep vnc
(II) LoadModule: "libvnc"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xrdp//libvnc.so
(EE) LoadModule: Module libvnc does not have a libvncModuleData data object.
(II) UnloadModule: "libvnc"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xrdp//libvnc.so
(EE) Failed to load module "libvnc" (invalid module, 0)
I can't find any info about this error in Debian bugs or some else in the Internet:
http://www.google.com/search?q=libvnc+does+not+have+a+libvncModuleData+data+object
Maybe in Lenny there are another method to install vnc as Xorg module?
