It should work properly with cjpeg now. Note, however, that something broke the build for me. I checked out a clean repository and did the following: cd tigervnc/unix autoreconf -fiv ./configure --host i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-included-jpeg CFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 make When it

Are you two testing it differently? I can confirm that the cjpeg utility is broken, but the encoder should work fine when used with TigerVNC. The difference is that cjpeg uses disk-based encoding rather than memory-based encoding. One of the optimizations I made to jchuff.c was to prevent it fro

The new huffman code seems to be broken in some way. I get corruption and lots of noise about corruption and premature end of data. Did you do a test run after you had merged the code? Rgds -- Pierre OssmanOpenSource-based Thin Client Technology System Developer Telephone: +4

While we're asking about protocol extensions, do we want to bring up adding the TurboVNC extensions as well? These extensions are a superset of the existing vnc-tight extensions, so I'm not sure if the RealVNC list would even care. Pierre Ossman wrote: > Hi, > > We've been working on client init

I think having it compilable with RHEL 5 Java compilers is a desirable option but not critical. I've been actively developing the Java client for years using Sun's Java compiler, which is free and open source. I have volunteered to maintain the Java code, so I'll look into this, but most likely n

Hi, We've been working on client initiated screen size changes and need to extend the protocol to do that. In order to minimise the number of extensions, we'd also like to accommodate multi-head configurations with this new protocol. So we'd like your feedback on the protocol, and allocation of
