Hi,
Running the 9ports under current issue debain linux (2.6.8.1)
everything works fine from the VGA display but running under Xvnc
my 9term appears to draw black text against a black background.
If I start the 9term, type xclock in this black window I get an
xclock. So I assume the 9term is working ok, its just the unhelpfull
background colour.
Anyone any ideas or am I on my own with Xvnc?
-Steve

I run 9term inside VNC with Debian Linux on both
sides all the time with no problems. I am using the
"vncserver" and "xtightvncviewer" packages.

Just some questions:
could there be funny background colors being set in your xrdb (Xdefaults)?
When you select some text with the mouse, any change in color?
My vnc server and/or client have some options regarding
the use of colors (numbers of them or something like that),
does playing with that makes a difference?
(I have no problems using 9term on solaris Xvnc
with win98 and solaris viewers, both with vnc 3.? and 4.0(?),
I use 'use all available colors' in the vnc client options)

Mmm, I guess the problem is to do with xvnc, or perhaps
using a display number !=0 ?
If you open two windows and in the first type:
Xvnc :99 -once -geometry 1024x768 -localhost -rfbport 5999 &
sleep 1
rio &
and in the second type
vncviewer localhost:99
you will get rio, but when you sweep out a 9term window it will
be black (well, mine is). Acme and sam(term) also appear broken
but if you type at the window, eg xterm, things seem to work.
I am not just grumbling at random, I will look into it, I just
want confirmation that its a bug and not my finger trouble.
