Description (last modified by )
It is possible to use a VNC X server to set up a window containing an 8-bit X visual that can be viewed on a 24-bit X display.
However setting this up is a little tricky; a shell script provided with miriad might make this easier for most users.

Added a version that worked ok on linux (ia32) at Narrabri to spec/xmtv
Added an 'xmtv24' target to the spec/xmtv/GNUmakefile.
Testing at Marsfield immediately found a few issues.
- If the
vncserverprogram is the 'tightvnc' flavour it does not support the-startupcommandline option. To get the session to start one must provide a$HOME/.vncrcconfig file that points to the startup file. - The 'tightvnc' flavour complains if the
.vnc/passwdfile is a symbolic link, but 'xvnc4viewer' does not have the-passwdcommandline option. - The 'xtightvncviewer' has the
-owncmapoption, while 'xvnc4viewer' does not.
These were addressed in revision 1.5.

Do we need this functionality anymore, or does PGFLAG do away with the need for xmtv?
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Please set up said VNC server and provide an initial version of the shell script. I will review and install it.
