My internet that my Mac Mini is on is not slow - Right now I am downloading the iPhone SDK and getting 600+kbps - that should be fast enough to do remote stuff. This seemed to make it go a little faster but still not usable.Īlso to note. The next thing I did was I went to Display Settings on the mac and switched it from 1920x1080 to 800圆00 and switched colors from Millions to Thousands. 256, 64, 8, 8 Dark Colors, 4 Grey Colors, Black & White seem to get me kicked off by the mac mini. The other option I tried changing was Colors but only "Full Colors" seems to work.
In the end I just turned off the VNC server included with Mac OS X and installed Vine Server instead. I tried a variety of different clients, all with exactly the same results. There are also options like "Use CopyRect encoding" checked "Use Cache Encoding" (unchecked) "Zip/Tight Compression" (checked with 6) and "Jpeg (Tight) - Quality:" (checked with 6). I had exactly the same problem with Tiger except I was trying to remote in from a Windows XP machine. I wonder if any of the other options (ZRLE, Tight, Zlib(+xor), ZlibHex, RRE, CoRRE, Raw, Ultra, ZYWRLE) are faster We have collection of more than 1 Million open source products ranging from Enterprise product to small libraries in all platforms. Like VNC Viewer has "Format and Encoding" and Hextile is what I have it using. OSXvnc - VNC Server for macOS opensource. I just downloaded Ultra VNC Viewer and that seems to be a little faster (Windows 7) but it is still too slow to use.Īnother things is when I am trying to connect to my machine most VNC Viewers have options. I even tried it on my WIFI Lan that it was connected to also and although that was the fastest it was still delayed and hard to use XCode.įirst I tried Real VNC (Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 7) and then I tried Mocha VNC (iPhone). The problem is that it is amazingly slow. Then I opened forwarded port 5900 on my router so I could access it externally. Any help, guidance, or ideas on how it would be possible to get this feature added would be highly appreciated.I bought a Mac Mini and turned on Screen Sharing and added a password. There used to be quite a few Mac clients, but the only one Im aware of with any recent activity is Chicken of the VNC (CotVNC). Redstone Software, though, makes an OS X VNC server called, simply enough, OSXvnc.
TigerVNC seems to be the only one that supports whatever form of authentication IT has setup on the server, and is the only one that IT will officially support anyway.īut without client scaling, it's practically unusable for my setup when changing between 2 locations with different resolution capabilities. VNC® Connect is the latest version of our remote access software for personal and commercial use. RealVNC is the official home of the software, but they dont offer a Mac server (just PC/Unix servers and clients). I also tried TightVNC and RealVNC viewers, similar issues. Something about unsupported or incorrect authentication or encryption modes. I tried using that with whatever server our IT is running (I'm not sure what it is, but I don't think it's TigerVNC server, and I'm not sure how I find out what it is) and it didn't work.
Do different open source versions of VNC ever share that kind of code with each other? I think it was mentioned above that TurboVNC supports client scaling. This is probably a stupid question, but I think there are other VNC clients that already support this feature. Not sure how likely that would even be, but without a price tag on getting it done for sure, I can't really even ask the question. The reason I asked what it would take is because I had the crazy idea of seeing if there was any possibility of getting my company to pay for it.
