24-bit color support to Xvnc

[James Weatherall]

Paresh,

Please refer to the documentation for details on configuring the Xvnc VNC
Server for Unix, in particular the "-depth" option, which controls the
colour depth of the root window of the X desktop.  E.g:

vncserver -depth 24

Will create a true-colour 32 bits-per-pixel, depth 24 desktop, with 8 bits
for each of the red, green and blue colour components.

Regards,
