Eh, I thought, DGL is SGI name for OpenGL. Sorry.

O.k., I'll trz VNC if it can handle it on the copy of local display. Not
Xfree related anymore.

Using TrueColor(32bit) on the desktop and starting Xfree with
start XWin -screen 0 1024 768
so I don't expect problems here. Probably something in color
translation. Most important I see the "creating new shape image" warning
which I get not on the native SGI display.
