VNC-Server 3.3.3r2 from YDL 2.2 tasty CD crashes

[Bill Fink]

Hi,

I don't know if this will help with the VNC problem, but to fix the
xterm problem, do the following:

In the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, comment out the line:

*VT100*eightBitInput: false

i.e. change it to:

!*VT100*eightBitInput: false

I got this fix off the net somewhere.
