There are new versions of nx and freenx for CentOS-4 i386 in the testing repo:
freenx-0.5.0-11.c4.i386.rpm nx-2.1.0-2.c4.i386.rpm
I am using this on 3 servers and it seems at least as stable as the previous versions. These RPMS roll in the latest nx-2.1.x server components from nomachine.org (current CentOS-4 version has nx-1.5.x server components).
The full screen patch was retained across versions and seems to work OK here as well.
If you are using the CentOS version of NX / FreeNX, please test this version and provide feedback on this list. Barring any show stopping negative feedback, these RPMS will replace the current versions in CentOS extras in 2 weeks.
Testing repository .repo file: http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/CentOS-Testing.repo
Packages can be download manually here: http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/

I have been using the 32bit CentOS-provided freenx / nx successfully on x86_64 systems. I believe they require nxsetup --purge --uninstall nxsetup after the initial install, but then they work just fine. Now I'd like to update them to the testing ones, using yum. How can I do this - the .repo file in your posting does not work - my $basearch is wrong !? I think yum should have an option to override $basearch, or the i386 packages should somehow be visible in the x86_64 repo.
Clearly I can download the .rpms and run yum or rpm directly, but there ought to be a more elegant way ...
