Hello,
I recently updated my Cygwin installation and I'm facing a strange problem now.
I use Cygwin (Xwin X Server release 6.8.99.901-4) on Windows XP to work on a fully patched Solaris 9 workstation.
When I try to run VNC on the Solaris workstation, it pops up the VNC authentication dialog as it should, but as soon as I start writing the password in it, VNC fails and I get this message:
CConn: connected to host remotepc port 5900
CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.7
CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.7
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 136 (XKEYBOARD)
Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (XkbSetNamedIndicator)
Serial number of failed request: 365
Current serial number in output stream: 373
If I work locally on the Solaris box, this doesn't happen. If I try the same on a XP machine, where I have an older installation of Cygwin (Xwin X Server release 6.8.2.0-4) I get no problems. So I think the problem is in Cygwin.
I tried to find a solution digging in Google and forums, a found a similar issue described in http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2008-12/msg00001.html and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/292973, but the suggested solution (apply patch 112785-64 on the Solaris box) doesn't solve the issue.
Thanks for any help or suggestion.
Marzio
