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

[From: Detlef Schmicker]

Thanks a lot for the response,
        
        I fixed the problem with vino. It seems to be a bug in
        VCNViewer,
        both other encodings are buggy:
        
        
        void vnc_viewer_configure(VncViewer *vnc, gint fd, gboolean
        shared,
                                  VncViewerDepthType depth)
        {
          guint32 encodings[] =
          {
            //    rfbEncodingHextile,
           // rfbEncodingCoRRE,
           // rfbEncodingRRE,
            rfbEncodingCopyRect, rfbEncodingRaw
          };
        
        please disable rfbEncodingCoRRE rfbEncodingRRE and in
        vnc-viewer.c .
        
        I can connect to vino now. The performance is not too good, but
        I can not compare...
