Am I correct in thinking that all that's necessary to run tightvnc with local cursor enabled is to run: vncviewer -enc "richcursor copyrect" or do I need to specify "tight" as one of the encodings, as well? -- Work: It's not just a job, it's an indenture. --

Re: TridiaVNC v. ATT VNC - Win 9x

or less, use tight encoding if you can. At 128K (ADSL or ISDN), tight encoding or heavy zlib compression can still help, but you start trading off with latency. At higher speeds, you probably will want to minimize zlib compression and use hextile, since latency will become more obvious. Your m
