Package: kvm
Version: 85+dfsg-4.1
Severity: normal
I updated kvm (72+dfsg-5 --> 85+dfsg-4.1) and now I get no high color
vnc-sessions with the Windows XP host any longer.
In detail, it is the modus "1280 x 1024, High Color (16-Bit), 43 Hertz
(Interlaced)", the best available modus of the emulated Cirrus Logic 5446. Two
different vnc-clients fail:
xvnc4viewer 4.1.1+X4.3.0-32
xtightvncviewer 1.3.9-4
For example:
$ xvnc4viewer localhost:0

CConn: connected to host localhost port 5900
CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.8
CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.8
TXImage: Using default colormap and visual, TrueColor, depth 24.
CConn: Using pixel format depth 6 (8bpp) rgb222
CConn: Using ZRLE encoding
Rect too big: 11822x7709 at 3824,1 exceeds 1280x1024
main: Rect too big
Just less colors work together with 1280x1024 and these vnc-clients, for
example "1280 x 1024, 256 colors, 60 Hertz". Then it looks like this:
$ vncviewer localhost:0

The problem is, 256 colors are very ugly (a regression) and no option for
productive work with XP guests.
