I've just upgraded a client from TightVNC 1.3.10, supplied as RPM with an ancient version of SuSE, to Tiger 1.2.0 from binary tarball.
The relevant clients are TightVNC/win (RFB 3.8), and Axel 75 terminals, with an embedded client using RFB 3.3. The OS is OpenSUSE 12.1, with a 3.0 kernel. We were using the ancient Xvnc because the one supplied with OpenSUSE 12.1 ignored mouseclicks completely from all client versions (including the TightVNC/Linux 1.3.10 client I test with on my laptop). The ancient one was working fine until I upgraded them to SuSE 12.1, and the KDE3 which comes with that; that setup wouldn't support drag and drop. Upgrading to Tiger 1.2 got me back DnD, but now the old Axel terminals appear to have noticeably slow repaint -- the user can *see* the square tiles paint from left to right, top to bottom. He says the session paints fine from his Windows VNC client at home, and I didn't see any slow paint in my Linux Tight client either, so this seems to be something related to the ancient VNC client implementation on the Axel terminals, which as I note above, identify themselves as RFB 3.3. Anyone sufficiently familiar with the Tiger internals to point me towards something to look at? The command line is: Xvnc.tiger :11 -desktop 'X' -auth /appl/home/scobey/.Xauthority -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 16 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbauth /appl/home/scobey/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5900 -interface 192.168.112.17 -alwaysshared -fp /usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/ >> '/var/log/vnc/patriot:11.log' 2>&1 and everything else seems to be working ok, except the paint speed. I can produce X.log contents if necessary, but there seems not much in there that is relevant (note: a *lot* more logging on start up and connection would be really handy, devs :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
