i have used win as tightvnc server and a linux as a client but only for once. When I connected, the other party told me that her wallpaper has disappeared, and she wanted me to put that back there upon leaving her computer. I also didn't see any wallpapers while I was connected. I thought it may because of tightvnc so didn't touch any setting related with the wallpaper. and when I disconnected from her pc she told that the wallpaper was back. I hadn't meant to do that, I think it is a default setting. (may be in a more recent version of tightvnc server) hope it helps, baris On Mon, 3 Dec 2001 14:35:39 -0500 Brad Noyes <maitre@ccs.neu.edu> wrote:
Hi All, I remember some time ago talking with Andy, and others about VNC performance at a wlug meeting. I remember that setting the depth 8 will help performance, as well as disabling the wallpaper. I am running the server on windows, and the client on a linux machine. VNC's site has info for disabling wallpaper, but it seems to involve editing a registry file. When i try to do so, i get an access denied message, because that file is read only. Can someone help me out here? I really know very little about windows. On the client side, the option '-depth 8' doesn't seem to do very much i get '16 bits per pixel'.
If anyone knows of any other methods for speeding up VNC, please post.
Thanks, --Brad
