RENDER allows server-side anti-aliasing, which is what is used. > Someone on the debian list suggested xf4vnc (http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net). > > I'd need to use the new software in a production environment. Has anyone > else tested this, what about RealVNC 4.0 beta, would it support the Render > extention? RealVNC 4.0beta doesn't have RENDER because they use the wrong virtual frame buffer library (cfb). They need to rewrite some code in order to use the correct one (fb). I asked them a few times, they don't want to. xf4vnc does support RENDER. I can't say anything about the stability, but so far it hasn't crashed on me. It's lacking some things RealVNC is good at, though, as far as I can tell. Things like keyboard handling and auto bandwidth scaling (you could use the realvnc viewer). It does have a unique feature: if you pay, you can get a plugin that will transport OpenGL directly. I already took a stab at porting RealVNC to the prober framebuffer library, and actually got it to compile without referencing the old library, but it crashed on startup and I gave it up for now ;-) Wout. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
