Try installing "xvnc4viewer" (as opposed to the default "xvncviewer").



D'oh thanks for that, works a treat and I notice it has options for 
clipboard transfer... I'll probably have to upgrade the server end to 
experiment with that (it's 4.0 on Fedora Core 6).

Version 4 appears to be included by default in 7.10.

[SLUG] vncviewer version 4.x on debian/ubuntu

2007-10-22 Thread Grant Parnell
What's the story with running VNC version 4 on Ubuntu etc? For quite some
time version 4's been available and gets installed in Fedora 7 for example
yet the other camp's stuck on 3.3. Normally I wouldn't be too fussed but
version 4's just so much faster on the wire. Gotta get around to trying
the NoMachine (nxclient) - is there a version of it for Windows/Mac though
(like just in case I have to use it).

Or tell me which repository I'd have to enable to get VNC 4.x (not
tightvnc, but realvnc... ie realvnc.org). I couldn't be bothered compiling
from source on every workstation I care to use.
