When pressing F8 again to bring up 2 - X problem, not FreeBSD > Gnome 2.8 3 - Gnome problem, not FreeBSD All these 3 components are independant from FreeBSD. Well, saying that, because i'm working sometime with VNC, trying to solve your problem : 1 - What say VNC log ? (~/.vnc/yourHost:yourDisplay.log, with ~ = userHome directory where you launch VNC Server) If there is a problem rendering something, it's possible to get interesting msg from here. 2 - Are you using VNC Client & VNC Server on the same computer ?? 3 - If not, VNC Server is running on what ? MS-W., FreeBSD, ... ? 4 - you must set the same window size on both server && client, this is the best way to use them ; if you use a non-fullscreen client, you must know that if your client window is less than the overall size of your server window, the client window size is not adjusted, this is not dynamic. VNC mean "Video", ie you get a Video image, not logical object. It's like a TV if you want, VNC open a Video Stream btw you and the server. Ok ? Well, in regard, i think the best way to use VNC is fullscreen. Read your log, and look if the problem is from gconf (gnome), VNC or other things. I'm not specialist, please contact VNC or Gnome if you want more information, or try Google, Metacrawler and so., but i think FreeBSD don't reply to you on a problem on which they cannot do anything, B. regards, v/ Ewald Jenisch wrote: > Hi, > > Since my original posting to freebsd-questions didn't give a single > reply I'm trying here - maybe somebody is experiencing the same > problem... > > I'm running in a strange problem using VNCviewer (VNC 3.3.7 built from > ports) in fullscreen mode: > > vncviewer uses function key F8 to switch between normal and fullscreen > mode. > > When I drop out of VNC fullscreen-mode using F8 I'm loosing the window > decorations of VNCViewer under X.
