It doesn't remember connections unless you create a launcher, but I use |
| 14 |
net-misc/tightvnc too. First try `-encodings tight` and you will see |
| 15 |
vast improvements (if its supported by the server) |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Then try `-compresslevel 9 -quality 3` in addition to -encodings if |
| 18 |
you're using it over a modem, and you will find it quite usable (I do |
| 19 |
this over bad modem lines <<30kbit and its passable) |

I've never bothered using VNC in full screen mode as my laptop has a |
| 27 |
resolution higher than anything I vnc to, so can't help you there... |
