Multiple X Screens and VNC Problem (Linux)
by Jason Bell 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

G'day All I was hoping that someone might be able to help me out with a problem. I have a Access Grid machine (details to follow) that has 2 x dual head video cards. I recently upgraded the machine to fedora 10 (No distro flame wars please) in which I can no longer remote desktop (using vnc) properly to be able to see and control all X Screens (4 in total). In previous versions of Linux, I use to use "Desktop Sharing" in KDE, but Krfb recently due to some software updates, has been found to be problematic. I am currently trying to use "Remote Desktop (Gnome)" in which appears to work fine, but only allows me to control the primary display screen. I have also tried x0vncserver with similar results. I am using 2 nVidia Quadro FX1700 video cards, using nvidia-setting to configure the 4 displays using xinerama. Note: if I use Separate Screens, I can only control the first screen, if I use Twinview, I am able to control the first 2 screens, but not the other 2. Also note that I need to be able to connect to this "desktop" via a windows machine, using something like realvnc or ultravnc (I have tried both). Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knew a solution to this problem as google doesn't seem to be helping me this time round. Though it does appear to be less an "distro" problem, as I have seen people (on the web) complaining about similar problems with other flavours of Linux. Someone mentioned that there might be a -ignorexinerama option within the server or vncviewer, but I haven't been able to find anything. Details on the system are as follows: Dell Precision T3400 2.4GHz quad-core Core 2 (Q6600) Dual 512MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro FX1700 video cards 2GB of Memory 320GB SATA HDD (3.0Gb/s, 7.2k RPM) Gigabit NIC 16X max DVD+/-RW Drive Running Fedora 10 (x86_64 Version) Your assistance in helping me to solve this problem would be extremely appreciated.

Ubuntu AG 3.1 and ATIIXP integrated audio
by Jeremy Mann 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Following up to my last message, I believe the problem was that RAT cannot handle this newer ATI integrated device. The system audio mixer showed the primary device as "ATI IXP" whereas RAT just showed "OSS: RealTek". Has anybody tried using this ATI sound device with RAT? -- Jeremy Mann jeremy(a)biochem.uthscsa.edu University of Texas Health Science Center Bioinformatics Core Facility http://www.bioinformatics.uthscsa.edu Phone: (210) 567-2672

George: The failure to launch is a known bug in that beta. You can work around it by editing ~/.AccessGrid3/Config/preferences, and changing this line: multicast = True (or maybe False) to multicast = 1 or you can use 0 if you don't have multicast available. I'll find a place to put this on the 3.2beta page. Tom On 1/29/09 3:16 PM, George Estes wrote: > Thanks! I've looked at package contents and I don't see any log files.

Hi, I've installed the 3.2 beta 1 version on my Intel Mac OSX 10.5.6. Everything went as expected during the install, but the software will not start. Run the AccessGrid3.app from the Applications folder and nothing happens. I've searched the mailing list and I don't see anything related to this but I seem to remember seeing something on the agtech list sometime in the past. George
