Has anyone built a freenx 7.3 for Centos 5? I'd like to be able to use the session shadow mode on some machines.

we have freenx in the extras/ repo at the moment, thanks to Johnny's work How about creating an update request at bugs.centos.org ?

Done - but the bug tracker isn't very conducive to picking things in extras.

Oh neat! When did this get added to freenx? I've been wanted to test that out for a long time.

I think the 7.3 version was the first to include it. It has been in the commercial NX versions for a while. I think those are free to use with some connection limit but I haven't gotten around to testing it yet.
Another interesting capability is for the client to resize the whole remote desktop screen. The Mac NX client seems to be able to do that arbitrarily where the windows version only does it sometimes to snap the desktop to the available window space - and sometimes not. Does anyone know what controls this capability and how it will mesh with shadowing a desktop tied to another client or actual video hardware?

Resizing can be done by installing 'qtnx' available from the extras repository.

Les,
You can try the version of freenx here:
http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/nx/
(freenx-0.7.3 is there, the NX is same as released version)
If it all works well, we can release this version of freenx.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Thanks! The i386 version installs OK, works at least as well as the previous version and I have been able to connect to a shadow session of another freenx session. However, I think I'm missing something about how to connect to a shadowed console session. If I configure the client to use a vnc session, I can see it as vnc-local but haven't been able to connect even though I am connecting as the same user. Do I need to set a password for this? Is documentation for the new features available somewhere?

Glad that it works, it also seems to work for me on i386 and x86_64.

I do not know how to connect to a local vnc session using the NX client, though I was going to look into that. If I figure something out I will post here, though I am not sure when I can look at it.
