Improves VNC interactivity nicely.. I use xtightvncviewer with the -bgr option to cut down network bandwidth quite a bit. This generates funky colours with the current patch but works with the old implementation. I'll take a look when I get the chance.. Also I can't access the monitor (which I can with the other vnc patch) ... again, when I get a chance. I need to look at the protocol and see if there is a way to instruct the client to change its size on the fly also.. at the moment booting win2k I have three different client sizes and need to close/reopen the client for each change. Nice work. The optimisations to the qemu portion speed up the display refreshes significantly.
