Hi. There are several problems with this, as implemented, and now that I think about the problem in more detail, I am remembering some of the reasons why I implemented ALR on the server side. Probably the biggest reason is what I call the "blinking cursor dilemma." There are some ill-behaved win

[VirtualGL-Devel] [PATCH] Implement automatic lossless refresh in VNCviewer

2011-05-12 Thread Arthur Huillet
Hi, The attached patch implements ALR, based on a Xt timeout that is reset after each framebuffer update. I have added -alrjpeg to enable use of JPEG Q95 for "ALR", because in some cases I do not want to use truly lossless (low bandwidth). If you're happy, please apply. Next in line: add both o
