FWIW, this is the bit of code that comes from. Apparently the vnc server
isn't providing one of these visuals.

--bob

#
# Look through the list of available visuals, and choose
# the best one that vic supports.
#
proc lookup_visual {} {
        set vlist [winfo visualsavailable .]
        if { [lsearch -exact $vlist "truecolor 24"] >= 0 || \
                 [lsearch -exact $vlist "truecolor 32"] >= 0 } {
                set visual "truecolor 24"
        } elseif { [lsearch -exact $vlist "truecolor 16"] >= 0 } {
                set visual "truecolor 16"
        } elseif { [lsearch -exact $vlist "pseudocolor 8"] >= 0 } {
                set visual "pseudocolor 8"
        } elseif { [lsearch -exact $vlist "staticgray 1"] >= 0 } {
                set visual "staticgray 1"
        } else {
                puts stderr "vic: no support for your display type"
                exit 1
        }
}

I'm running an Xvnc server on a Solaris machine. 
When I try to run the vic multicast video program from the viewer 
either directly or spawned by sdr, it terminates with 
"vic: no support for your display type". sdr and vat display properly.

Anyone know 
1) what display type a regular X server is using, 
2) what display type is Xvnc using, and 
3) can this be changed with an Xvnc option or is it hardwired in the code?
