[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] New version of VNC viewer available plus source code

[From: Aaron Levinson]

The original author of gnome-vnc-viewer wrote the Hextile code (back in 
1999)--I haven't really looked at it yet or tested it yet, and I assume 
that he disabled it because it wasn't ready when he published the 0.1 
release of gnome-vnc-viewer.  The next version of the maemo port will 
likely support the Hextile encoding type.

The GNOME VNC server (vino) apparently has a bug that causes it to report
an encoding type that is not advertised or supported by the VNC viewer
client.  If there is a way to manually force vino to use a different
encoding type, then you might be able to fix it this way.  Users have had
success with tightvncserver and vncserver.
