The colors look ok, but are > flickering on the screen. The flicker is because vncviewer has to redraw the entire screen whenever one colour changes. I know this has to be true when the local system is TrueColour; I'm not sure what happens when both the VNC server and the local system are pseudo-colour. In theory, at least, it could be possible avoid the redraw when both are pseudo-colour. > Starting vncviewer tells me that I'm using > Truecolor (!): Yes, on your local laptop.

Perhaps an extra bit of output from vncviewer here would reduce the confusion. > But running "xdpyinfo" from Xvnc tells me that I'm > using Pseudocolor ? Correct. > The question is: Am I running Truecolor or > Pseudocolor ? Your VNC server is pseudocolour, your laptop is true-colour. - -- Grant McDorman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Sr. Software Design Consultant Cedara Software Corp. <URL:http://www.cedara.com> (formerly I.S.G.
