I also don't think so. Moreover, it does work for the TigerVNC backport
to debian jessie.

I just finished the backport to jessie.

Maybe try the backport

I have mirrored my debs to https://xamane.jfalk.de/dists/homebrew-jessie

So, it seems to be a regression with the combination of Xorg 1.19 in stretch
and the VNC patch to it. Ola, where did you get this patch? If I remember

Maybe you can post the changes to fbvnc somewhere, so that we test with the same code?
