OK, I rebuild trunk with -O3 so hopefully I'm benefiting from all speed optimisations now. I started looking that RANDR code but it's not obvious where it gets the initial desktop size from and I don't know if I have time to get deeply in to debugging that less important issue. have you noticed that I'm running the client via ssh ? > VNC context: > > All tiger vnc software is run on the remote kubuntu box via ssh from > local linux system. > > r...@local# ssh -C -X -L 5900:localhost:5900 remote.dyndns.info > r...@remote:~# vncviewer localhost:0 I'm wondering whether running this way means the vnc compression is irrelevant to the network section since it is happening between two processes on the same machine. It does run with expected performance running viewer on client machine via an insecure port but that is unacceptable. Is there a better way?
