I am a newcomer to VNC. Some days ago, I downloaded the WinVNC 3.3.3r2 =
source code and tried to compile it under Win95, using VC++ 5.0. Before =
trying to modify the source code, I would like to understand some =
points, so I'm asking for some help:
1. I get errors when compiling the WinVNC server, specifically related =
to constants and types used in low level hooking. I suppose that this is =
happening because some functions, types and constants (like =
WH_KEYBOARD_LL, KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT, etc.) are WinNT specific. Do you have =
any recommendation for a Win95 build? Should I just strip off such code?
2. In the "Connection options" dialog (WinVNC viewer), encoding options: =
When I click on "Raw", the original option doesn't toggle, that is, I =
get 2 radio buttons checked at the same time. I first noticed that when =
I downloaded and ran the installation pack. So, after I downloaded the =
source code, I found out that the "Raw" radio button has its "group" =
property checked. Isn't that just wrong?
3. Running VNC on a 10Mb local network, server and viewer both on =
Pentium 233MHz, I did a simple test: just moving the mouse pointer =
around (no mouse buttons pressed). The effect was the following: at the =
server machine, I could see a smooth movement of the pointer, but, an =
the viewer, I just could see a mouse pointer jumping terribly, unless I =
moved it VERY slowly. Well, it just seemed that something was very =
wrong, because all I was doing was moving normally the mouse around the =
desktop, using 16 bits color depth, 800x600 at both ends. What could =
cause so much overhead?
Thank you very much for your attention.
