I can connect via VNC to xfce but my mouse and keyboard input is not recognized if the display of my server shows XBMC. If I switch to virtual terminal 8 (Ctrl-Alt-F8) using the server keyboard then VNC will work. This is not ideal. I want XBMC to be always be displayed on my monitor and access xfce only via VNC.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); clear: both; font-family: Arial, 'Liberation Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px; position: static; z-index: auto;">There seems to be some kind of problem which prohibits keyboard/mouse input over VNC if the virtual terminal is not active on the host.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); clear: both; font-family: Arial, 'Liberation Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px; position: static; z-index: auto;">Any ideas?</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); clear: both; font-family: Arial, 'Liberation Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px; position: static; z-index: auto;">PS: I used -dk -dp to check if the keyboard and mouse inputs arrive at x11vnc and they do. So that's not the issue.</p></div></body></html>
