Running xdpyinfo in the vncviewer gives me, in particular the line depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 seems to be indentical. $ cat ~/mclinx.xdpyinfo name of display: :27.0 version number: 11.0 vendor string: XF4VNC vendor release number: 40399902 maximum request size: 16777212 bytes motion buffer size: 256 bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 8, MSBFirst, 32 image byte order: MSBFirst number of supported pixmap formats: 7 supported pixmap formats: depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32 depth 4, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32 depth 8, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32 depth 15, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32 depth 16, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32 depth 24, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32 depth 32, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32 keycode range: minimum 8, maximum 255 focus: window 0x400007, revert to PointerRoot number of extensions: 27 BIG-REQUESTS DEC-XTRAP DOUBLE-BUFFER DPMS Extended-Visual-Information FontCache GLX LBX MIT-SCREEN-SAVER MIT-SHM MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD RECORD RENDER SECURITY SGI-GLX SHAPE SYNC TOG-CUP VNC X-Resource XC-APPGROUP XC-MISC XFree86-Bigfont XInputExtension XKEYBOARD XTEST XVideo default screen number: 0 number of screens: 1 screen #0: dimensions: 1596x1176 pixels (541x398 millimeters) resolution: 75x75 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 root window id: 0x3f depth of root window: 24 planes number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1 default colormap: 0x20 default number of colormap cells: 256 preallocated pixels: black 0, white 16777215 options: backing-store NO, save-unders NO largest cursor: 1596x1176 current input event mask: 0xd0403d KeyPressMask ButtonPressMask ButtonReleaseMask EnterWindowMask LeaveWindowMask KeymapStateMask SubstructureRedirectMask PropertyChangeMask ColormapChangeMask number of visuals: 8 default visual id: 0x23 visual: visual id: 0x23 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x24 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x25 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x26 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x27 class: DirectColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x28 class: DirectColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x29 class: DirectColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x2a class: DirectColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits -- Rainer Dorsch Lärchenstr. 6 D-72135 Dettenhausen 07032-359190 jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Fingerprint: 5966 C54C 2B3C 42CC 1F4F 8F59 E3A8 C538 7519 141E Full GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu/
