Certain update packets not being sent

[fluffy]

Binary package hint: vino

When first connecting to the VNC server (using Chicken of the VNC from a Mac), I only see the notification widget that warns of an incoming VNC connection. After that, small updates are sent when the mouse changes focusing and the like, but many large events (such as when a dialog box pops up, or when the VNC client requests a full-screen refresh from the server) never come. This makes the remote display pretty much unusable.

@fluffy: There are three similar bugs which seem related to the issue you are seeing . Could yours be a duplicate of one of these?

bug #915906
bug #918815
bug #772873

What, that issue is still there after a year? I'm shocked. ;)

Looks like all three of those issues (as well as mine) are the same underlying issue. Since then I have switched to xubuntu and just use x11vnc the rare times I need to VNC in anymore, so I don't know if the particular issue is still there (but I presume it is if those bugs are still open).

Oh, and since it seems that chipset matters, I was experiencing this on a Dell Inspiron Mini 11 with an Intel GMA chipset (I forget which specific one - 4300, I think, but I no longer have that computer).

@fluffy: Thanks for the input. Based on your comments, I have marked this as a duplicate of bug #918815 (the Intel one).
