Well last time I looked at it it was just source in CVS (and therefore I did not try it). > The other downside for me is that this doesn't support OpenGL (which > x0rfb does, for example).

They are working on a X4 version of vnc so they will not add my patches to the mainline versions. > (vnc-list) and I couldn't spot it.
