Hi,
I've just got vnc-3.3.3r2 and I'm having problems getting the viewer to
run on this Linux machine.
linux% ./vncserver
linux% ./vncviewer :1
VNC server default format:
8 bits per pixel.
True colour: max red 7 green 7 blue 3, shift red 0 green 3 blue 6
Can't cope with 24 bits-per-pixel. Sorry.
linux% ./vncserver -depth 24
linux% ./vncviewer :1
VNC server default format:
32 bits per pixel.
Least significant byte first in each pixel.
True colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 0 green 8 blue 16
Can't cope with 24 bits-per-pixel. Sorry.
Here's, hopefully, the pertinent bits of xdpyinfo.
linux% xdpyinfo
...
bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, LSBFirst, 32
image byte order: LSBFirst
number of supported pixmap formats: 2
supported pixmap formats:
depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32
depth 24, bits_per_pixel 24, scanline_pad 32
...
screen #0:
dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (433x347 millimeters)
resolution: 75x75 dots per inch
depths (1): 24
root window id: 0x26
depth of root window: 24 planes
number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1
default colormap: 0x23
default number of colormap cells: 256
preallocated pixels: black 0, white 16777215
...
number of visuals: 1
default visual id: 0x22
visual:
visual id: 0x22
class: TrueColor
depth: 24 planes
available colormap entries: 256 per subfield
red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff
significant bits in color specification: 8 bits
Is vncviewer basically telling me it will never work when displaying to
a 24-bit X server? That seems strange. Given the vncserver is 8-bit
I'd have thought a 256-entry LUT would be sufficient to map to X server
Pixel values.
What am I doing wrong?
Ralph.
