Well, thank you for the quality suggestions. But no, this doesn't work
either. Using any -depth option results in good performance, but an
inability to use the tool because it can't create the colormap. Using -cc
3 results in an ability to use the tool but the performance sucks. Using
any client-side control panel option doesn't help.
I don't think I understand where the HW graphics would come into play
because it doesn't matter what host the VNC X server is running on (Linux,
Solaris, HP, AIX) ... the performance results are the same.
The client is always a Windows 2000 machine (high-powered workstation or
IBM Thinkpad). Doesn't matter. The problem is not as simple as you make
it out to be.
