Hello Peter,
Where are you running "vncviewer"?
>From the messages below, you appear to be running vncviewer on a Unix
machine,
whose native X server is set to 8bpp, pseudo-color. The message:
Got 199 exact BGR233 colours out of 256 Using 6 existing shared
colours"
implies that the pseudo-color palette can match only 199 colors exactly.
Your problem is not with the VNC X-server,
but with the native X server on the machine where vncviewer is running.
Try to set your native X server to 24bpp or 32bpp, true color,
instead of its current setting of 8bpp, pseudo-color.
Or, try running vncviewer from a Windows machine,
whose display is set to 16bpp or 32bpp.
Regards,
Robert.

Subject: VNC : Color Map
Hello,
Anybody can help me on the following problem;
I have compiled (using gcc 2.95.3) the VNC source under Solaris
2.7, I have tried on Solaris 2.7 (On Solaris 2.5.1 we do not have the
javac..). I have some question that need your advice;
1. Everytime when I connected the vnc server with the vncviewer, I
have some message which is related to the color;
"VNC authentication succeeded
Desktop name "root's X desktop (Logos:1)"
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 and translating from BGR233. Pixel format:
8 bits per pixel.
True colour: max red 7 green 7 blue 3, shift red 0 green 3 blue 6
Got 199 exact BGR233 colours out of 256 Using 6 existing shared
colours"
I have tried to modify the vncserver ( on the $depth = 8; to 16 or 32,
)
but I remain connected with 8 bits color, the message as following;
--------------------------------------------

I have also changed the .vnc/xstartup's windows manager from twm
(openwin) to dtwm (CDE) but I do not see any improvemnet, eventhougt I
have connected via netscape browser (Just for your information both
server and client are Solaris 7 installed with Creater 3D graphics
card) Do you have any idea ? I have read the FAQ but nothing on this
topic.
2. Anyway to improve the speed of displaying the windows ?
Thanks,
Peter Ong
