: README for the nano-X VNC viewer
Very very cool. I've got a friend who uses VNC alot,
I've asked him to check this out. I'll take a look at
the work also.
I've commented on a couple things below:
: + Only tested with an 8-bit palette display. Palette handling is a
: problem area since VNC wants to set the viewer's palette to match
: the server but nano-X does not allow applications to have their
: own palette.
Setting any portion of the hardware palette is easy: I'll add
GrSetPalette to my list, and by the time you're back, it should
be done.
: + No way to exit from the viewer, you need to kill the process.
You must be running with the new -e option that tells nano-x
not to exit on ESC. Perhaps we need a programmable exit
sequence or character.
: ------------------
: I use the GrMainLoop() function, with a callback, for the central
: event loop. I found that GsSelect() gets called twice, once in
: GrGetNextEvent() and then immediately after in GrCheckNextEvent().
: This seemed to cause mouse and keyboard handling to fail after a
: short while. My temporary fix is to comment out the call in
: GrCheckNextevent().
I'm still waiting for some more input from Morten on this,
but I'll check it out also.
Regards,
Greg
