Hello, I already found the answer the the attached posting (VNC web site came back up). The answer is that the "-cc 3" option specifies an 8-bit pseudocolor display, and it doesn't seem to be necessary to put the viewer in "8-bit pixels" mode. Thanks anyway.
Fred P.S. However, the viewer that connects to the pseudocolor viewer seems to be incompatible with ZoneAlarm firewall version 2.6.362 at first. The viewer dies with the message "Error while waiting for server messages". This seems to be fixed by putting including the server host in the "local zone" for the firewall. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Ma Department of Electronics Carleton University, Mackenzie Building 1125 Colonel By Drive Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1S 5B6 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========================================================================== "Shing-Fat (Fred) Ma" wrote: > Hello, > > I apologize if this is a well-documented issue, but I'm not able to access > the VNC website at the moment. > > I'm trying to use Cadence's layout editor on solaris, over tight VNC.
