I am interested to see the local cursor implemented in vnc. However I
mistook the phrase local cursor to mean, use the local cursor, instead of
the remote one. I figured that instead of trying to send across the screens
(or rectangles?) that the remote cursor changes, you would simply have the
local cusor move or the local vnc screen, and not have to get screen updates
from the server, plus if the server implemented some unknown or weird
cursor, the client would just use whatever local cursor was current.
Apparently there is more interest is seeing that the remote cursor and local
cursor look the same.
Since I plan to use VNC for remote support, remote sysadmin, I don't care
about;
lots of colors (256 seems fine for me)
cursors (just use the one I got, not the latest flinstones or muppet cursor
some user put on his/her computer)
wallpapers, font smoothing, or other window effects (nice to see these are
implemented)
I can't think of anything else right now. I am used to using citrix's
winframe (ICA). And I probably gonna compare vnc (remote control, not
printing, or file copy ops) against that. Heck all our servers have all the
special effects turned off, no screen saver, no wallpaper, 800x600x8bpp,
default cursor. They are all hooked up to the oldest, ugliest, 17" monitor
no one else wanted to use.
