10.5: Use Chicken of the VNC with 10.5's Screen Sharing
Authored by: barefootguru on Nov 23, '07 08:20:59PM

I've dumped CotCNV for Leopard's built-in Screen Sharing application: this can automatically adjusts the display based on network capability (i.e. faster network = higher quality desktop), and can scale the remote screen to fit the session window.

You can access it through the Finder when connecting to a server, by connecting to vnc:// (e.g. through Safari), or by launching /System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing.app

10.5: Use Chicken of the VNC with 10.5's Screen Sharing

Obviously using the 'Screen Sharing' app would be ideal, but go back and re-read the hint - I was trying to remotely connect to Leopard's built-in VNC from a *Tiger* machine using CoTVNC, and I wasn't having any success until I changed the bit depth to *greater* than 256 colors.
