The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Slow Remote access with Startx/putty/VNC

Asked by rspalding in Conferencing Software

Tags: , ,

When I connect using VNC Viewer /Startx (SSH Putty) I get two problems that I just can't figure out. Problem One is Speed. The lag time of actions when I operate the remote desktop is TERRIBLE...I have tried to reduce colors to 1 Byte using 256Color option with or wihout compression level set at anything 0-9. I am using cable to connect and when I work with other people that have me connext using whatever programs they use they seem to have no problem at all with speed.  It's so slow it really makes working from home just impossible...I only ever connect now except for aa specific emergency...then I just wait and drink a cup of coffee while I sit and watch the screen Sloooooooowly fill.

Second problem is configuration for proper screen size. I have a moderate size X window but the remote desltop is way too big and requires constant scroll Bar use to move to the area I need. With the speed problem I just have great fun.  Takes me 20 minutes to bring up an application and do ANYTHING.

Help is needed before I scrape VNC and look elsewhere for remote woork.  I like the VNC/Putyy application mainly for it's SSH security access to my LAN at work.

Here is the current config for VNC:

@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET PATH=.;%PATH%;\XWIN32\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\bin

SET XFCE_DATA=\cygwin\usr\X11R6\var; xfce
