Different VNC server than krfb

[Prospero424]

I'm having major speed problems with Kfrb, as described here:

http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=7239.0

Krdc works just fine. I can remote desktop TO my Windows machines amazingly well from Kubuntu; even better than I can between them.

It's only when I try to remote desktop to the Krfb vnc server FROM any of my Windows machines - using ANY vnc viewer - that performance is unacceptable. This proves to me that it's an issue with the server rather than the network.

So I was hoping someone could:

A. Suggest a different VNC server.

B. Point me towards comprehensive instructions as to its installation and, more importantly, configuration.

Thanks!

Re: Different VNC server than krfb

For future reference, I finally found a solution by myself:

I found that using x11vnc rather than Krfb eliminates this problem and GREATLY improves overall performance on low-end systems like my PIII 450.

Instructions:

1. Remove Krfb and install x11vnc using Adept

2. Create an x11vnc password file. (if you don't know how, just go into the Konsole, type "x11vnc", and it will tell you)

3. Configure x11vnc to run as a service, as explained here: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/#faq-service under "Q-48: How can I run x11vnc as a "service" that is always available?"
