[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Bug#852509: tightvncserver: much reduced performance and wrong colours since tigervnc switch

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: tightvncserver
Version: 1.3.9+t-1
Severity: important

Hi,

ever since the switch to the tigervnc server implementation, when
accessing a VNC server over the network (client is TightVNC viewer
version 1.2.7 on MirBSD), I’m observing wrong colours (for example,
Firefox® menu bar has a blue background, scroll bar is also all
wrong where it previously was Motif themed grey) and *much* reduced
performance (not only in Firefox®, also, PDF scrolling in mupdf is
so laggy it’s virtually unusable).

The client has a roughly 5000/700 kbit/s line, the server has much
better network access; vncviewer’s -via (SSH tunnel) is used, and
one VPN and two IPv6 tunnels are in use, although this was never a
problem before, so I don’t see why a worse implementation should be
shoved down my throat now (especially not short before the freeze).
