I wanted to improve performance over a low bandwidth line and thought that "-nocursorshape" makes things uglier but faster. I still find the text in the man-page confusing: -nocursorshape Disable cursor shape updates, protocol extensions used to handle remote cursor movements locally on the client side (TightVNC-spe- cific). Using cursor shape updates decreases delays with remote cursor movements, and can improve bandwidth usage dramatically. So that means that for best performance over a slow line I should *not* use "-nocursorshape"? If yes, my bug report is INVALID. I understood just the opposite. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, that's how I understand it. When strace'ing vncviewer -nocursorshape, I saw that its eating of CPU cycles is mostly due to the fact that it chatters with the server all the time.

If yes, my bug report is INVALID.

Will do. (In reply to comment #4 from Mike Fabian)

Should I set it [-x11cursor] to make things faster over a low bandwidth line or not?

Don't know if this only means the client saves some CPU cycles on not having to draw the cursor or if it has a way to stop the server from sending the data at first place. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
