Comment 31 for bug 180619

More information on the second machine on which I tried Steinar's vnc.so: that machine has an Nvidia graphics card and was using the open-source free Nvidia driver. I changed it to use the proprietary Nvidia driver, and thereafter, it also works fine with Steinar's vnc.so (no striated-looking screen in the vncviewer like I posted above in the Screenshot_VNC_x11.png image). Also, I had forgotten to mention that the first machine on which I tried Steinar's vnc.so has an ATI graphics card and was using the proprietary ATI driver before I ever tried Steinar's vnc.so. It would be nice if I could interest any of you in trying Steinar's vnc.so, in order to get much more testing of it (as a workaround). However, I realize the upstream source still needs to be fixed.
