Option to use Local cursor

[giridh...@gmail.com]

Can any one please let me know command line option to use local cursor and disable remote cursor using tiger vncviewer.

Thanks in advance

There is no setting for it since it is always turned on. You are either
using a TigerVNC viewer together with an FLTK that doesn't support
setting cursors, or there is some issue with the VNC server you are
using.

What versions of the viewer and server are you using, and who did the
builds?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Hi Pierre,

The TigerVNC server version is tigervnc-server-1.2.80-0.30.20130314svn5065.el17.x86_64 installed on RHEL 7.1

The vnc viewer version am using is vncviewer-1.4.3.

Thanks,
Giridhar

That version is fairly ancient. Not sure if there were any bugs with
regard to cursors there. Could you please try our current release?

(and possibly poke red hat about upgrading. ;))

Basically when using vncviewer the cursor is not changing to local cursor but it is not slow when compared to other client like tightvnc or ultravnc.

Does this mean that it is using local cursor.

Sounds like it. I usually test it by letting the cursor hang out a bit
outside the window. A remote cursor will be clipped, whilst a local one
will be on top of the window border, and continue outside the window.
