Well, I tried it and it does appear to be unbearably slow in
full color
mode.

John,
The problem is probably that in 8bpp mode, the X server will
be using a
colour palette, rathern than true-colour. When Mozilla is
selected, the
palette will switch to what Mozilla wants. When another app
is selected, it
will switch to that app's palette.
I'm surprised that switching your server to 8bpp makes any noticable
performance difference. Are you sure you didn't mean to set
the VNC Viewer
to request low- or medium- colour, while leaving the server
to use 16bpp
internally?

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

Subject: Wierd behavior
I'm using TightVNC on my machine at work and RealVNC on my
linux box at
home. Here's the script I use to launch the VNC Server:
vncserver -depth 8bpp -geometry 1024x768 -nevershared -localhost
For some reason, whenever I switch to an active Mozilla
window, the display,
except for the active Mozilla window, goes green. When I
switch to any other
window, it goes back to normal colors.
My window manager on the linux box (Fedora Core 3) is KDE.
I've got a
RivaTNT video card there, and I'm assuming that, since I
didn't load the
Riva TNT video drivers, that I'm not using those drivers.
Any ideas why it's behaving this way? BTW, the 8-bit color is
for speed
reasons.
Since this is mixing TightVNC and RealVNC I'm sending to both
lists. BTW,
the behavior is the same whether I'm using TightVNC or
RealVNC for the
client. Also, since I didn't have this problem under RH9 (previous
incarnation of the box that I'm connecting to) I'm assuming
it's something
to do with the VNC Server. OTOH, I'm using a newer version of
KDE and other
things are new as well (same hardware, just newer versions
of all the
software) it could be something else as well.
John
