This card doesn't support 1280x1024x32, not enough memory; 4MB Matrox
Millenium.
You say Xvnc can handle 24bpp but the `default format' output below
suggests it doesn't; it is using 32bpp.
% ./vncserver -depth 24
% ./vncviewer :1
VNC server supports protocol version 3.3 (viewer 3.3)
Password:
VNC authentication succeeded
Desktop name "ralph's X desktop (inputplus:1)"
Connected to VNC server, using protocol version 3.3
VNC server default format:
32 bits per pixel.
Least significant byte first in each pixel.
True colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 0 green 8 blue 16
Can't cope with 24 bits-per-pixel. Sorry.
Am I interpreting this correctly?
Ralph.
