This is expected. When no composite manager is running, the X server sends damage events only for the parts of the screen that changed. Because Compiz uses a much more complex API (OpenGL) to update the screen, it instead generates damage events that cover the whole screen. This makes the VNC server have to read back the whole screen instead of only a small part of it. When I tried it, x11vnc was much better than vino about updating the screen efficiently. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
