In vncviewer, the strange screen update and mouse/keyboard doesn't work

[Seak, Teng-Fong]

	You could use "Poll Full Screen":

	but be aware that your server will then be sending a lot of useless updates and thus its responsiveness will be decreased a lot.  You could use 8-bit color to partially compensate this loss of performance.

> Hello,
