Haven't looked at the Xvnc source yet. But there are a number of things that might compose such a limit. * a hard-coded limit * the file descriptor limit (need one per XOpenDisplay, plus one per screen, plus one per hardware input device, plus one to just listen on each type of connection (local - of possibly more than one flavor, network), plus maybe a few more * max stack depth * sufficient vm See http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/sunmanagers/2001-September/006231.html for a way to increase the number of clients on Xsun. Basically, you add -clients 1024 to the command line for Xsun. 128 is also a valid value, not sure if anything else is. I think this trades off against something else, i.e. increasing number of clients decreases some other thing like maybe number of atoms or max number of properties or something like that. -- ftp> get |fortune 377 I/O error: smart remark generator failed Bogonics: the primary language inside the Beltway mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.smart.net/~rlhamil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
