[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Bug#855350: tigervnc-xorg-extension: Loading the tigervnc the extension makes the x server practically unusable

[Martin Dorey]

> i could not find a way to actually pass options

I eventually managed to get a default configured Stretch box to accept a
remote connection using:

mad at shuttle:~$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/75-vnc-mad.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen"
Device "Device"
Option "PasswordFile" "/u2/home/mad/.vnc/passwd"
EndSection
mad at shuttle:~$

It seems, from the source, that the PasswordFile Option is only looked for
in the Screen section and the Screen section has to have an Identifier and
a Device, which has to refer to a Device section, which needs an
Identifier.  Argh, but, OK, whatever.  Then I have other problems, both
keeping the connection up and with redraw, but I fear that elaborating them
here would be a hijack of the OP's bug, the main symptom of which - a
horrible-sounding performance issue - I don't see with Gnome 3.
