You should be able to look at the log file in ~/.vnc on the server and tell what encoding is being used by a particular client. As far as building TigerVNC from source, yeah, it can be a pain. Either it requires building all of the Xorg infrastructure from source (which is simplified somewhat by the unix/build-xorg script, but it still takes forever) or it requires a system-specific procedure to build against your O/S's installed version of Xorg. The latter is mostly undocumented, since it differs from system to system. BUILDING.txt provides only a basic framework for how to do it, based roughly on how it's done on RHEL 6. Additionally, building the viewer in TigerVNC 1.3 now requires building a heavily-patched FLTK from source, and if you want to generate a cross-compatible build of either the server or viewer, you have to build the GnuTLS infrastructure from source as well. Brian now maintains binaries for RHEL 5 and 6. Not sure whether any of those would work on SuSE 12, but it's worth a try: http://tigervnc.sourceforge.net/tiger.nightly/ > See above. :-) I'll try out Turbo, too, sure.
