Screencap of bug

I attempted to connect to a system remotely that was running Krfb as the server and the image is distorted. Everything else seems fine, I am asked for the password and it accepted, but the session is unusable.

Bug is filed against the server that is running Krfb, openSuSE 11.0 on i686.

The remote client is running openSUSE 11.0 x86_64. Both systems should be patched with all the latest updates (tray icon shows no updates).

krfb on the remote end is running default settings, same for krdc on the local end. When the dialog box asked for settings I simply left the defaults unchanged and clicked ok.

We're having the same problem:

Two identical Dell Precision systems with openSUSE 11.0 and latest patches applied. Both systems have Nvidia cards and 1600x1200@60Hz screens with 24bit colour depth.

bernd@adnws001:~> krfb --version
Qt: 4.4.0
KDE: 4.0.4 (KDE 4.0.4 >= 20080505) "release 15.2"
Desktop Sharing: 1.0

bernd@adnws001:~> krdc --version
Qt: 4.4.0
KDE: 4.0.4 (KDE 4.0.4 >= 20080505) "release 15.2"
KRDC: 4.0.4 (KDE 4.0.4 >= 20080505) "release 15.1"

bernd@adnws001:~> uname -a
Linux adnws001 2.6.25.18-0.2-default #1 SMP 2008-10-21 16:30:26 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

When I connect with the krdc or vncviewer client to the krfb server, then I can connect and accept the connection. 

But then the shown remote desktop is horizontally disorted and mouse/cursor movements produce funny cyan/magenta/yellow translucent boxes all over the screen.

When using the GNOME vino-server instead of the krfb, then everything works fine.

This problem remains in SuSE11.1 also. This is independent of video cards used as I have systems with both ATI and nVidia cards and the krfb server produces distorted images on systems with either card.
