[coLinux-users] Xrealvnc uses all my CPU

[James H. <Jam...@ro...>]

I recently setup my native linux operating system to run under coLinux. It was 
amazing!

Unfortunately, after a couple of hours colinux became so slow that it was 
unusable. The Xrealvnc executable was using about 75% of the colinux CPU, and 
the colinux-daemon about 80-90% of the Windows XP CPU. 

I have no previous experience with the VNC server. My KDE desktop demands a 
lot of resources to run all the applications. Is this a known issue with VNC? 
Is Cgywin X more suitable for more instensive use? (I haven't tried it out 
yet.)

Thanks,
James

Cygwin X (Why not Xming, saves all the cygwin overhead) should be a lot 
easier on the CPU, though it may require more effort to set-up. XDMCP 
from Xming is probably the least CPU intensive route to take, and should 
be reasonably easy to set-up (google for XDMCP howto).

Thanks. I've been using freenx with coLinux for a week now and its highly=20
usable. The only problem I had was that bitmapped fonts don't work.=20

In fullscreen mode with no JPEG compression I sometimes forget that I am no=
t=20
in native Linux.

Cheers,
