Re: 8-bit color in Tiger X11 and Snow Leopard X11



Hi,

I have been using Xvnc for 8-bit for a long while. I don't know if Xquartz works right in 8-bit again. Then I use a VNC viewer to connect to Xvnc. The Screen Sharing app in 10.5 works adequately. The key Xvnc options are:

   -cc 3 -depth 8

I have such a script I run:

$ cat cnsvnc
#!/bin/sh
opts='-cc 3 -depth 8 -geometry 1280x960 -localhost -tst -nolisten tcp'
dpy=':9'

case "$1" in
  "-kill")
        vncserver -kill :9
        exit
        ;;
esac

vncserver $dpy $opts "$@"
open 'vnc://localhost:5909'

To start I do this:

$ cnsvnc

To stop it I do this, after quitting the app that starts for the vnc:// scheme:

$ cnsvnc -kill

Good luck,
mzs
