KDE Desktop Sharing(krfb), RealVNC Viewer, screen savers. Jan 25th 2013, 21:16 openSUSE 12.2 (x86_64) When using RealVNC Viewer as a client to connect to KDE Desktop Sharing(krfb-4.8.5-2.4.1.x86_64) things work as expected. However, if a screen saver has been set(blank screen in this case), the VNC session does not properly reset or disengage the screen saver. The VNC session lights up the screen, but the screen goes dark/blank again within seconds resulting in a slow and extremely annoying flashing of the VNC session. The VNC session is unusable like this. If the screen saver is disengaged by activity at the actual server console then the VNC session becomes stable, as it should be. I have tried disabling the screen saver, via the KDE configuration, while this blinking is occurring, but the blinking continues. If the screen saver is disabled prior to it blanking the screen, as when it is disabled at the console, the VNC session behaves properly. However, the VNC session should work properly regardless of screen savers. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix?
