VNC Compression and BeOS server

[Gordon Tyler]

Has anybody approached the Be people about the App Server hooks (Or whatever method they suggest) ?

I wonder if it would be possible to do it like the Windows server, i.e. polling.

So many questions... I'll have a look and see if I can answer my own questions ;)

Ciao,
Gordon

BeOS is a totaly diffrent beast, and would have to be treated like
windows at this time.  There are no hooks that can be captured either,
unless you want to write a low level video driver as well.  It that
weren't bad enough the BeOS's habbit of changing color depth's and
resolutions would reak havoc on the server.

Until Be opens up the App server for hooks, I think we are out of luck.
