Logging gives me: RFBSession running RFBSession send protocol version RFBSession RFB 003.007 RFBSession viewer using protocol 3.7 RFBSession client shared: true RFBSession a RFBSocket[connected] connected RFBSession ignoring request for ZRLE encoding RFBSession rfbEncodingCopyRect RFBSession rfbEncodingTight RFBSession using Hextile encoding RFBSession rfbEncodingQualityLevel 6 RFBSession ignoring unknown encoding: 4294967073 RFBSession rfbEncodingLastRect RFBSession enabling LastRect protocol extension RFBSession rfbEncodingPointerPos RFBSession enabling cursor position updates RFBSession rfbEncodingRichCursor RFBSession enabling full-colour cursor updates RFBSession received rfbSetPixelFormat RFBSession set pixel format: 32bpp, depth 24 LE, true colour 255,255,255 16+8+0 RFBSession colour map a WordArray(16711680 65280 255 0) an IntegerArray(0 0 0 0) RFBSession before color table RFBSession rfbSetPixelFormat done <-- added by me.
