Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux When trying to use krfb to share a non-local X display, the client (krdc) only receives a black screen. Reading the source, I found, that krfb semms to use MIT-SHM *whenever* it is availible, even for remote displays. After forcibly disabling SHM in kdenetwork/krfb/krfb/xupdatescanner.cc, remote X displays work. I don't know anything about lolevel X programming, so I cannot offer a patch. The only thing necessary is to add a check for non-local displays to the if clause at xupdatescanner.cc:79

Still doesn't seem to be fixed in all cases. This exact problem is occurring on Fedore Core 2 stock install. Any attempt to use krfb/krdc results in a black screen on the krdc side (although a brief 8-bit picture appears). All other functionality seems to be working fine; ie - I can move the mouse, bring up menus and start apps on the distant (krfb) end, I just can't see what I am doing on the local (krdc) side.
