thanks for the tip.
"Raw" mode supposedly should always work.
it is the most data intensive, but in some ways the simplest to process.
I suppose once things are working with a given server, you can try the other
encodings. I was under the impression that Hextile would be supported too by
all servers -- or is only raw guaranteed?? [
currently client sends encodings in this order:
- CopyRect (if supported) -- which it isn't (yet)
- the encoding preference
- then the others: EncodingRRE, EncodingCoRRE, EncodingHextile
(it's not sending EncodingRaw -- I'll doublecheck original source to see if
I need to send that explicitly; I assume it's always implicit)
