Title: Cannot open SFML app in VNC
Post by: Overkiller on December 16, 2014, 06:34:14 pm

Hi!
I wrote small app in SFML for Raspberry Pi B+. I had to compile it by myself, so for 100% all dependencies are met. Problem is following: it won't start when I want to test it through VNC connection. The output is following:

Failed to use the XRandR extension while to get the desktop video modes

. Running as root does not change something. When I write

xrandr -q

it says:

RandR extension missing

. So, I that possible to run SFML based apps through VNC? My VNC server:

tightvncserver

It's an issue woth xrandr and VNC, not really SFML related. You'll be better off asking on some Raspberry Pi/VNC forum, how to configure things to get OpenGL output displayed. ;)
