README
This package provides the neccesary tools to run a CollabKit Server (provided there
already is a MPX-enabled X Server installed).
Once installed, CollabKit can be started from the main menu.
To run from the command line, use
$ ./CollabKit start
To stop,
$ ./CollabKit stop
To run some kind of interactively as a tray icon,
$ ./CollabKit trayicon
Known pitfalls & issues:
* At least when using the intel video driver, additional mouse cursors
are sometimes not shown when using RandR multi-head. Playing around with
different resolutions of local and attached display is known to help.
Clone mode works okay, though.
* Current X servers (at least up to 1.9.0) only support 40 input devices.
Taking into account that each master pointer and keyboard pair has an
accompanying pair of XTEST devices, this leaves us with roughly 9
connected clients + 1 local user at max. Change MAXDEVICES in
include/misc.h in the X server sources and recompile your X server
if you want more.
* In case of using MulticastVNC with WLAN: some Wireless LAN chipsets
set the default multicast rate to 1Mbit/s regardless of the stations
connected. The only known workaround is to manually set the device's
transmit rate to a fixed value. This can be done by:
$> iwconfig rate
* In case of using MulticastVNC: It can happen that you have to add a
multicast default route, e. g. when using wireless ad-hoc networking.
You can do this by issueing as root:
$> route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev
In case you are using Network Manager to setup adhoc networking,
changing the connecntion's IP settings to link-local does this
automatically for you.
