RealVNC

[RWIndiana]

Greetings to all

I think Buck mentioned that he had RealVNC. It's a nifty product, but I have one problem: the cursor on the remote desktop flickers continually when the viewer is connected, so it can get annoying if the viewer is connected and you are using the server. Is there any way to eliminate this problem? I even tried turning off all inputs from the viewer and no success.
Well, thanks for any wise suggestions!

Sorry, I guess this should have been on the tech support list.

I use TightVNC at school and haven't noticed this problem. Not sue if the flicker is enough reason for you to switch. I only use Tight 'cause that's what the guys ahead of me used. [/code]

Sorry RW, but I don't get that flicker. However, it should also be noted that I run RealVNC from a Windows based computer to RedHat systems.

Do you have a 100 or 1000mbps network? Maybe my problem is caused by the fact that I just have 100mbs.

How is tightVNC different from RealVNC?

Thanks

Tight VNC is usually considered faster, but perhaps not as robust (I haven't tried it lately). I notice that they are now using a mirror driver, which should help speed a great deal.

I'd certainly give it a try.

100 Network.

I also have it installed on a clients Windows XP system to connect and maintain their Windows 2000 server. That works on a 100 network as well without flicker.
