vnc freezes when monitor turned off and on

Hi,

i have some issues with the vnc viewer or vmware-player/console.

Always, when the Monitor turns of by it self or by me pushing it, the Viewer freezes. But the connection stays online, when i change to console or an other xscreen (strg+alt+Fx) and go back to the screen with vnc it works again, without making a new connection. Same issue i have with the VMware-Player. It must have something to do with X

any ideas?

edit:

I think its because of the DVI Monitor telling the Xserver that its off, and X does some odd things like reinitialising that the RFB protocol has problems with.

So do you know a way to tell X it schouldnt care if the Monitor is turned on or off?



Im using debian 6 netinstall with basic X vnc4viewer

Vinagre has many features, among others:. - Support for multiple connections simultaneously - Bookmarks and history support - Avahi integration - GNOME keyring integration - You can connect to a VNC server by double clicking on a .vnc file when using nautilus.

The following operands are supported: [server][::port|:display] Specifies the VNC server to connect to. The VNC server can be either a hostname, or an IP address. If the server is an IPv6 address, it must be enclosed by square brackets. The address can optionally be followed by two colons (::) and the VNC port number, or alter- natively by one colon (:) and the display where Vinagre should run. If a port is not specified, default value of 5900 will be used. If the value is lower than 1024, 5900 will be added to it. For example, ":0" means "5900" and ":1" means ":5901". If only a port is specified, but not the hostname, localhost will be assumed. Possible values for the display are between 0 and 1024. If a display number greater than 1024 is specified, it will be assumed to be a port. Note that you can't specify the port and the display at the same time. EXAMPLES
