Sanjeev,
Yes, viewers can request pixel formats that are larger than the server's
pixel format. i.e. a viewer on a 32bpp desktop can request 32bpp even
though the server is only doing 16bpp.

Hello James,
Thanks for your response. So what you are saying is that viewers can
request color depth greater than that of the server. In that case, does
server typically pad the extra bits/bytes to its pixel data (e.g.
server's color depth is set to 16bits client is asking for 24bits)?
What is
Sanjeev,
As I stated in my previous mail, no, your assumption is incorrect. Viewers
can request any format they wish, and some do take advantage of this.
Please see the protocol specification for details on how viewers specify the
format they require.

James,
I understand that viewers can request any format they wish. I am
specifically trying to understand the rationale behind asking for a
color depth greater than that specified by the client.
The section 4 of the spec does state that if client can cope with
different formats, it may choose
Sanjeev,
As I have stated in my previous two mails, the *viewer* can choose whatever
pixel format it wishes. It is perfectly reasonable for the viewer to
request a pixel format that uses more bits per pixel than the server's
native format, if that is what it requires. This allows VNC Viewers to
Any suggestion?
Thanks
