Hence, the screen update of the session can never be faster/better than the hardware. It's even worse: depending on the way the screen-memory is grabbed, the screen update can be realy slow. To make it even worse: the hardware accelerated video display stuff does not use the memory for the screen, it inserts the picture 'on the fly'. Hence where the real display shows the movie, the vnc-session shows a black square. There are however vnc-server installations that are linked more to the display-driver and might do a better job on some side. > I've got a PC whose VGA card is "ATI 3D RAGE IIC PCI".

On the other hand, using the current installation, twiggle a little with the way the screen is updated/captured/refreshed.
