Re: Problem with VNC on AMD64



So VNC server will run, and I can connect to it from a VNC-client, but
the window manager fails to start correctly.

I am having the same problem. My vnc log looks similar:

*snip*
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range
for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 102 (X_ChangeKeyboardControl)
Value in failed request: 0x3c
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 9
/usr/local/bin/wmaker fatal error: it seems that there is already a
window manager running

Of course, there's no window manager running (I get the default X gray
screen with a generic X cursor).

If I try to run wmaker against the VNC display, I get the same message:

% wmaker -display localhost:1
wmaker fatal error: it seems that there is already a window manager running

Like you, I've tried other window managers, but I have the same
problem. I'll wait to see if anyone has any ideas, otherwise I'm going
to go ahead and submit a PR for this.
