Re: Xfce Desktop issues with TightVNC Client

[Rohit P. <rv...@gm...>]

c.monty, What is the color depth that you start your VNC server with?
I have seen similar problems with a depth of 32 while connecting to
VNC servers on Linux. A depth of 24 fixed my problem.

Jeroen, vncconfig can be used to configure (as the name says) VNC server:

       vncconfig - configure and control a VNC server

I don't use it for anything besides clipboard configuration. The newer
version(s) seem(s) to require this program to be started if you want
clipboard transfers to work. It usually starts with the following
items turned-on/checked:

- Accept clipboard from viewers
- Send clipboard to viewers
- Send primary selection to viewers

-Rohit.
