just a heads-up on the Mac OS X server (aqua) that Dan McGuirk notified the
list about (last week?)
it appears to work fine, although a connection to it seems slow at times, I
am not sure exactly whats up with that, but i also noticed that osxvnc's
impact on the single 500mhz G4 and 450mhz Cube that i have been testing it
on is totally negligable (sp?) perhaps setting a higher priority on its
threads, or perhaps a renice on the process? I have also messed with its
defer time, and it appears to behave better with a defer time of 20ms
rather than the 40 that it defaults to.
in addition, i have also run it in tandem with the beta TimbuktuPro for Mac
OS X that recently became available, and the two do not appear to get along
well.
Timbuktu is a total CPU hog (70%-90% cpu utilization while connected)
when run on top of timbuktu, speed is much slower, and any app run in
classic has massive performance hit, so bad that menus and windows will at
times fail to completely draw.
when run seperately, however, connection speed between a 450mhz iMac (sage)
running vncthing or my 0.2.4 viewer, or beta3 ORL vnc viewer to my cube
over a 10bt network is more than adequate.
the only issue that i have, using other viewers (besides my own viewer) is
the lack of a local cursor on the viewer, or the inability to send the
remote cursor from host. if the viewers can be updated to allow for no
remote cursor, or if the server can be fixed so it can send hardware based
cursors, that would fix my only complaint.
all in all, Thanks Dan
Tim
