VNC scrollbar problem

gejr · 2007-08-28 14:16:11

Why do the scrollbars show up like this? Does it have something to do with me running openbox?

I can drag the window smaller, but not larger. Pretty annoying little thing this is. I run x11vnc on the local display on my monitor. And the official vncviewer. I've tried tightvnc's viewer too, but it doesn't make a difference.

Does anyone know a trick that might help me remove this scrollbar, or at least make it go _outside_ of the vncviewer window?:)

thanks!

EDiT: This case is solved. The picture may be deleted or another one, as it has nothing to do with this thread anymore.

I emailed the developer about this. Turns out I had to use the -noncache option of x11vnc. DOH:)

ArchLinux use x11vnc 0.9.3. This is the "beta" version of x11vnc. On the site you can read something about this version :

Here are some features that will appear in the 0.9.3 release:
* Viewer-side pixmap caching. This one will benefit from much testing. A large area of pixels (at least 2-3 times as big as the framebuffer itself; the bigger the better... default is 12X) is placed below the framebuffer to act as a buffer/cache area for pixel data. The VNC CopyRect encoding is used to move it around, so any viewer can take advantage of it. Until we start modifying viewers you will be able to see the cache area if you scroll down (this makes it easier to debug!). For testing the default is "-ncache 12". The unix Enhanced TightVNC Viewer ssvnc has a nice -ycrop option to help hide the pixel cache area from view.

I think this is the reason why you have this scrollbar. To disable-it, add this line to ~/.x11vncrc

noncache

Edit: oups ... I had not seen, you've got the answer.
