In case of same color depth I would need to use 8 bit on both
machines, because my Mac does not have more colors in 1024x768.

What VNCserver do you use? There are 2 of them for Mac...

I got this one: I start the VNCserver on my LinuxPPC with
vncserver -geometry 1152x864 -cc 3
and the VNCviewer on my Intel Linux box with
vncviewer -bgr233
Anyway, I rather would use xserver, because I would be easier to have
only one window (and not MoL window running in a VNC window) and I
would have 32 bit color and not only 8 bit.
About the use_backing_store stuff: I will ask in a seperate mail...

Claus.
