Request: RealVNC no display mode

[James Weatherall]

Feico,

Which version of VNC Server are you using?  VNC 4 already includes some code
to reduce resource consumption in the case where no updates are ever
requested, but further optimisation is possible.

We have plans to release a hooking driver as an optional add-on for VNC
Server.

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
