If I use a certificate from a trusted CA, I do not get the SSL errors from XPRA, but with the default certificate created during installation, I do see the error SSLV3_ALERT_CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN. Is it worth creating a ticket for that?

In Chrome I’m getting asked for a client certificate, in Firefox I don’t get asked. After adding ssl-client-verify-mode=none to xpra.conf I don’t get asked for a client certificate in any browser.

Can you help me get started? I checked out the code via svn but I’m not allowed to commit with my username ffeldhaus to trunk. I admit, I’ve not used SVN in a decade and may have done something wrong. This is what I tried:
Florians-MBP-3:content-type florianfeldhaus$ svn commit -m "Mapped Wireshark to text in 50_class.conf for better display quality"

This is indeed fixed now with the availability of xserver-xorg-video-dummy. Thanks a lot! I need to use bullseye as Buster does not contain Wireshark 3.X and I didn’t want to build Wireshark manually.
