I want to use MoL on a remote (Intel) Linux box. X server does not
work, becuase it is too slow. So, I need to use VNC.

I have 2 different color depths on my computer:
   Intel Linux box: 32 bit
   LinuxPPC: 8 bit

There are 2 ways to use VNC:

1) Start MoL and start VNC server within MoL (console).
   ----------------------------------------------------
   This does not work, because the VNC server on MacOS crashes or
   at least it does not send any data to vncviewer after a short
   period of time.

2) Start VNCserver on LinuxPPC and start MoL via remote VNCviewer.
   ---------------------------------------------------------------
   This doesn't work also, because there are problem with the
   different color depths: Starting VNCserver with 8 bit and
   VNCviewer with 32 bit, VNC does work, but not MoL:
   I get an xvideo error.

   Starting VNCserver with 32 bit, MoL does start, but the colors
   are completly wrong, because I only have 8 bit on my LinuxPPC
   machine.

Please give me some help. I appreciate...

Claus.
