Have you tried specifying the encoding to use on the xvncviewer command line? The default encoding for local viewing should be raw, which I found acceptable for most uses (probably not quake, though ;-). But try running "xvncviewer -encodings raw", or check the xvcnviewer man page for a list of other encodings to try. > > Yeah, there is something for this, and I keep forgetting the name of it.. > > if you ask on the SLUG list, some people on there know the name of it Just stumbled across another rfb package that looks like it does exactly what you want: http://www.hexonet.de/software/rfb/ -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
