Greetings,

I am using FreeBSD 13.2-STABLE and have recently attempted to get noVNC’s web 
based VNC client to work with my bhyve VNC consoles, but immediately realized 
that the colors are not correctly displayed where essentially the reds and 
blues are reversed.

After doing some research, that is exactly what is happening.  Web browsers 
seem to use BGR colors where bhyve’s RFB uses RGB.  Reading through the mailing 
lists / forums of noVNC, this appears to be a common issue and usually means 
that the embedded RFB server does not properly use the pixel format that the 
client requests.

After quickly going through the RFB protocol and bhyve’s rfb.c source, sure 
enough, when bhyve receives a SetPixelFormat from the client, it basically 
ignores it and moves on. ( rfb_recv_set_pixfmt_msg() )

At this point, I’m not sure what to do next.

Does anybody have a work around for this?

Is this something that will be added in a future release?

Should I file a bug report as recommended by the noVNC developers?


I appreciate any help I can get with this.

Thanks,

Justin England
