Hi,
has someone enough background to say if it was worth implementing
ZLibHex encoding
to qemu/kvm?
The way I look at it, hextile is capable of a 16x16 tile that can be
raw, filled, or can contain colored subrects.
Tight allows arbitrary tile size, can be raw, filled, or paletted.
Paletted is going to be a pretty close approximation to colored
subrects (probably superior). Since Tight is compressed, the result
should be that Tight always does better than compressed hextile.
Not to mention the fact that ZLibHex is not supported very well
across clients.

i was not aware that tight encoding is currently being integrated into
qemu. i saw it on the agenda for google summer of code and wanted
to have some intermediate solution. when do you think the tight
patches will make it into the release branch?
Looks like a matter of a few days to make it into git. That will be in
time for the 0.13 release which will probably be July 1st.

If yes, I would go for that.
