ptaylor Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Since the file that someone else built and uploaded of CotVNC (for Intel) isn't available now, I compiled a copy myself. This one is a univeral binary, so it should work no matter which hardware you have. In case you don't know, CotVNC is a VNC client, which allows you to remote control machines (PCs, Mac, or otherwise) running a VNC server.

ptaylor Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 As a side note to anyone using the PPC version of CotVNC on an Intel... Do yourself a favor and try the Universal binary.. Before compiling this, I remote controlled a machine with the PPC version and it seemed to do alright in terms of keeping up with what the remote machine was doing, at first... After a few minutes, it didn't update the screen well, and I saw CPU utilization all over the chart, as high as 80% when I was getting a lot of activity from the remote machine (though it was mostly much lower). I did have it "lock" up once, where I could no longer control the remote... I tried getting back into it a few times, but just got a blank black screen each time. Then, from my PPC Mac, I VNC'ed into it fine at that point and resumed control without any problem. I've since used this Universal build on my Intel and not had any of those issues.

jasch Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 As a side note to anyone using the PPC version of CotVNC on an Intel... I tried the PPC "side" of the universal binary and I would not even connect to my remote servers. I d/l'ed the official version and everything is working ok again.

I had only tested this on Intel, but since you had this issue, I downloaded it from the forum and tried it on my Mac Mini. It worked just fine for me... Maybe I had the optimize for a G4 box checked? (You didn't say which processor you had... Do you have a G3?)
