I need a little help, not a big issue but it is pissing me off. i configured vnc using the “old sax2” way mentioned in this post: here
Now everything works fine, except the **** numlock doesn’t work when I login or respond to presses it just keeps using the keys as arrows. Does anyone know how to force the numlock to be on when I login?
I am guessing it has to do with the X11.conf and the “rfbkyb” options.
Also copying and pasting from windows to the vnc doesnt seem to work and vice versa, any ideas?
Copy/paste… in my VNC client if I press F8 I get options to copy my
clipboard back and forth from client to server and vice versa. You may
want to try right-clicking on the vncviewer taskbar in windows if that
is where your client is as that may also give you those options.
Good luck.

I am using tight vnc client and server, the clipboard options are enabled but I have never been able to get them to work either windows to windows or linux to linux or a mix. Do i have a config wrong somewhere?
For anyone that cares I solved all these issues, Even got the background to be stripped off and logging of sessions enabled.
Enable Remote Desktop through Yast, then edit the vnc conf in /etc/xinetd like below; note I have authentication turned off as I tunnel my vnc over ssh.
service vnc2
{
port = 5900
type = UNLISTED
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/x11vnc
server_args = -inetd -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -display :0 -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-DwRWQr -users chongo2002 -solid grey
disable = no
}
To get your auth path execute: “ps wwwaux | grep authps wwwaux | grep auth”
Also make sure x11vnc is installed
Note I am connecting to the console or root display then switching the user (I do this because I leave applications running on my session and need to use them) You can create a new display by creating multiple entries and increasing the port and display number.
Make sure you change the -users to nobody, or a valid user
