Poll Settings

Post by jamesthejust »

Hi,

Can anyone explain ultravnc.ini's poll settings?

Specifically, how each settings relates to the others (e.g. does 'Poll Foreground Window' supersede 'Poll Full Screen ( Ultra Fast )' or compliment it?

Also, how does 'Low Accuracy ( Turbo Speed )' fit into the equation?

Essentially I want to properly understand what everything does. I don't want any conflicting/ redundant values.

FYI: My connections are going to be over the Internet. Some using the 'Video Hook Driver', some not. I'm not using any hook dll's.

Thanks v. much!

Bump! As I would also like to know.

If you are using the video hook driver... do we need to use polling? I know it is better to use the video hook over system hook since it's lower on CPU resources and faster.

I have seen this question asked MANY times on the forums... but never answered. :c/
