One other thing. Has anyone implemented a client that uses SSS that's NOT for an embedded (ie, Palm, etc) device? It would be nice if this showed up in the regular vnc viewer.

It only works for me sometimes, at other times it just drops the connection. >The Palm VNC FAQ says that the VNC server must support >scaling extensions. The first sentence of the PalmVNC readme.txt says, It is strongly recommended that you install both the PalmVNC client and the WinVNC-3.3.3r7 with Scaling Extensions. If an alternative VNC server is used, the scaling features of PalmVNC will not be available. AFAIK, there are only two ways you could be running a server with scaling extensions compatible with PalmVNC 1.40: First, you installed the WinVNC binary bundled with PalmVNC 1.40--WinVNC-SSS v3.3.3r7 with Server Side Scaling extensions v1.7.0. Or, second, you downloaded the sources from Harakan Software and compiled them for Windows. I don't know how one takes advantage of PalmVNC" scaling when viewing a .*n.?x machine. >How would I check if the VNC >server that I've installed has scaling extensions? Either you would know that you had (perhaps compiled and) installed them, or, for Windows, when you choose from the WinVNC-SSS tray icon "About WinVNC", it would say WinVNC-SSS (WinVNC version 3.3.3r7 -- Server Side Scaling Extensions v1.7.0). >Is this a function of Xvnc or is it part of the OS? I believe the source (with scaling extensions) has to be compiled for X. >Is this a VNC configuration option?
