Selection Description

Preferred encoding radio buttons Normally the VNC viewer requests CopyRect,

Hextile, CoRRE and RRE in that order. The

selection alters this behavior by specifying the

encoding method to be used before any of the

others are tried.

Preferred encoding check box

Allow CopyRect encoding When selected, VNC viewer informs the VNC

server it can cope with CopyRect encoding.

Misc check boxes

Request shared session When you make a connection to a VNC server,

all other existing connections are normally

closed. This option requests that they be left

open, allowing you to share the desktop with

someone already using it.

Deiconify on Bell Often a beep will sound because you are being

notified of something such as e-mail arriving or a

compilation finishing. This selection causes a

minimized VNC viewer to be restored when the

bell character (escape sequence) is received.
