yes. > I guess this server would need to be a kernel module. no. I think it would be sufficient that the vnc server can read the dirty pages of the mmapped /dev/fb0 from some new kernel interface, and then examine those for the real changes. Kind of making the dirty page table accessible for userland purposes. But I'm neither the person who could implement this in Linux nor the one for the vncserver :/ anyhow: thank you for the information :) Susanne -- Susanne Oberhauser penguins SuSE Linux AG +49-911-74053-574 enjoy Deutschherrnstr. 15-19 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dinosaurs 90429 N|rnberg _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
