[mythtv-users] x11vnc, OpenGL and metallurgy theme

[Dan Christensen]

I use x11vnc to remotely access my frontend from time to time.  If I
switch the painting method from Qt to OpenGL, I find that x11vnc seems
to be unaware of some of the repainting that is done when passing
between menu screens, or even just changing which menu item is
highlighted.  Is this a bug or simply a known drawback of using OpenGL?
It seems like it might be possible to work around this by using OpenGL
for the fades, but then doing an extra draw in a way that the vnc server
can detect.

Incidentally, I've also just tried the metallurgy theme from

  http://miffteevee.co.uk/themes/metallurgy.html

and found that even with Qt selected, I get the same problem.  Does
this theme somehow ignore the painting setting, or is there another
reason that x11vnc isn't aware of the changes?

Thanks,

Dan
