Description:
Xvfb shows wrong colored (e.g. black or grey) pixels instead of transparent when 8-bit color depth is set. Additional info: * xorg-server 1.7.5.902-1 * x11vnc 0.9.9-1 Steps to reproduce: Open terminal and issue following commands: export DISPLAY=:1 Xvfb :1 -screen 0 640x480x8 & openbox & x11vnc -display :1 -bg -nopw -listen localhost Open another (!) terminal and issue: vncviewer localhost You can see new VNC viewer window on the screen. Right-click the mouse somewhere within blank area of that window. In the drop-down menu select Editors -> GEdit, and you will see the picture similar to one in attached file. Note that should you change 'x8' to 'x16' snippet in Xvfb command above, GEdit look become normal. |
