RE: Compatibility issue with MacOS X VNC clients? (was: Slightly OT - Best MAC OS X VNC?)

For feature requests and bug reports RC15 RC16. Please use the forum at http://forum.ultravnc.net/

Sam,

It sounds like the problem Georges was encountering is a coding bug, rather
than anything else.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say that UltraVNC fully supports RFB -
the server component reports a non-existent protocol version, so it's
clearly not compatible.

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
