Hi,

I have some older thin client devices which only support a 15bit  
display using RGB555

I?m running a fedora core 8 installation with Xvnc Free 4.1.2

I?m trying to force Xvnc to use the right display depth and pixel  
format so that the colors aren?t all screwy.

Command: vncserver ?depth 15 ?pixelformat RGB555 :1

Returns:

Fatal server error:
Couldn?t add screen 0


I?ve tried various combinations of 15/16 bit colour depth and pixel  
formats but none of them produce the correct color palette required by  
the thin clients.

Any guidance would be appreciated on getting this to work.


Cheers,

Matt.
