Hi I suggest you try with tigervnc. I'm quite sure you can find a good version.
I found the following: http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/tigervnc-viewer.html http://vnc.devloop.org.uk/ And you can also build tigervnc from GIT. This is the version that we will upload to stable. https://alioth.debian.org/scm/?group_id=100732 // Ola On Wed, Aug 10, 2016 at 10:11 AM, Luca Barion <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for the very fast reply! > Since my work is heavily based on VNC do you have any suggestion in > the meantime?
