I didn't have a Linux framebuffer to test with at the time so I hacked
together a quick framebuffer interface for NetBSD-Amiga. It shouldn't
make a difference but the possibility is there. There is also an
interaction with the resolution of the VNC server, which server are
you using and at what colour depth?
I am in the process of building a new, faster, Linux box for cross-
compiling uClinux kernels. It has a chipset which supports VESA 2.0
modes so I will have another look at VNC and see how it behaves
with the Linux framebuffer.

George
