Ok. I see. This was a new configuration to me. Well in this case I can see the interest in having a socket option. However implementing it is likely not trivial depending on the spagetti-code of vnc. Patch is welcome! :-)

Likely not this month as I have too much other business going. :) Best regards, // Ola On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 10:54:47PM +0200, Jakob Lell wrote: > Hi Ola > > Ola Lundqvist wrote: > >Hi Jakob > > > >[...] > >What virtualisation technique do you use?
