Hello,
I thought I overcame the problem of 8-bit
desktops crashing as soon as a viewer connects
to it from a 24-bit desktop. I might have been
wrong. I just tried again and the 8-bit desktop
died. The only difference between
When I launch the viewer, I get the message
Connected to VNC server, using protocol version 3.3
VNC server default format:
8 bits per pixel.
True colour: max red 7 green 7 blue 3, shift red 0 green 3 blue 6
Using default colormap which is TrueColor. Pixel format:
32 bits per pixel.
Most significant byte first in each pixel.
True colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 16 green 8
blue 0
Same machine: preferring raw encoding
Obviously, the 8bpp is for the server while the 32bpp is
for the desktop from which the viewer was launched.
This is strange, since the latter has 24bpp. The message
remains the same even if the viewer is invoked with
"-depth 8". And the log file for the 8bpp server shows
that client (i.e. the viewer) has 32bpp format, regardless
of whether the viewer was launched with "-depth 8".
Would anyone be able to clarify exactly which pieces
of data refer to what? Thanks in advance.
Fred
