Subject: [gentoo-user] vnc weirdness as a user, works as root
Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2006 12:59:08 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1158814748.8552.7.camel@rattus> (raw)

I installed tightvnc on a relatively new system and find that mouse
clicks are not being registered (both using the browser and vncviewer
clients).  Occurs with both the fluxbox and twm window managers.  The
mouse cursor moves over the screen ok, just no "clicks" are being
recognised.  The mouse works fine on a local (non-vnc - gnome) X desktop
as the same user.

The mouse also works fine when under a remotely connected root vnc
session - but this is not really desirable :)

The clients are fine as I can log onto other servers ok as a user.

Its probably a permissions problem, but where?
