[1.1.x] Pixel errors in screenshots of Windows CE devices attached via VNC

[Tantrom]

OS: Windows CE 6.0 and 8.0
SikuliX Version: 1.1.1
(but tested also 1.1.2 and 1.1.3)

Hi Sikuli-Team,

I'd like to take screenshots with SikuliX from Comfort Panels via vnc connection.
The devices using a Windows CE OS.
But the screenshots have some pixel errors above the icons.
Please see the attached screenshots.

If I use TigerVNC itself there are no problems.
Also using this SikuliX with usual Windows devices working fine.

Can you help me please?
Changing your TigerVNC version leads to too many interface issues for me to solve alone.

My workaround: added the external tool vncsnapshot.exe which makes the screenshots,
and using SikuliX for automation.
-> two vnc connections, too much CPU load on the devices...

Repro: connect to a WinCE device via vnc and take a screenshot.

Best regards,
Tantrom

Too far away from the mainline, sorry.

You have to live with it and find you way.

FYI:
Found a solution:
Had to change encoding from Tight to Hextile.

How did you change the encoding? I have the same problem on Ubuntu VM...
