They don't run this on any normal workstation? Xorg dropped PseudoColor visuals quite some time ago. This would otherwise be exactly the case that would be lost in my change, as Xvnc -depth 8 would no longer result in PseudoColor but DirectColor/TrueColor. > It's possible to use 8bpp direct color on the client (when > the server is 8bpp ColourMap) but the colors are generally not approximated > correctly. I'm not sure what you mean by this. Can't they run the client in it's normal 24-bit mode? That should cover all the colours of the server's palette.
