    Thanks, have now got it all installed and configured.

    I thought there was an issue with the prefs not saving properly (I disabled the option 'prompt local user to accept connections', which reset itself back again after reboot), but it must have been a mistake on my part, as it seems to be working OK now.

    Screen swapping seems to work fine here (and allows me to retain a 24-bit screen for my main 'local' desktop, whilst having a 15/16-bit mode screen dedicated for working on via VNC (to reduce bandwidth).

    Thanks Piru, Jacadcaps and Mark, and many thanks, I can now - fairly comfortably - use MorphOS on my mac-min via my Windows laptop. After all, it's a whole 10 feet from my sofa to my desk, and the beer-fridge is in the opposite direction! ;-)

    Thanks for the update and speed improvement. Big areas are transferred a lot faster now. Also changes from low screen depth (8bit) to true color (24bit) have sped up a bit although they stay irregular. As a side effect the VNC viewer message "rectangle too big. do you want to reconnect?" does not appear anymore: now the connection directly drops without any user message on the client side. The viewer window just closes. Maybe it can be addresses with the next birthday release.

    I've had this problem with RealVNC (WinXP) on my laptop for a while now (from any server), I think it just has problems with transmitted screens which are bigger than the client screen. TightVNC seems to work without problems though, and supports Zlib compression.

    I got these messages and quits with no matter what VNC viewer, no matter what resolution and screen depth I chose on the server side. Even VGA in 8bit on the server lead to permanent quits. I did not test R5 again with all viewers but as the quits happen as often and as suddenly as before and just the "rectangle too big" message does not appear anymore I assume it still won't make a big difference which viewer I choose. Just for the record, I will test though.
