From 557ba0e57200014bd4f453f6516f02b61bdfc782 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cameron Esfahani Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2020 21:00:52 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] vnc: prioritize ZRLE compression over ZLIB In my investigation, ZRLE always compresses better than ZLIB so prioritize ZRLE over ZLIB, even if the client hints that ZLIB is preferred. zlib buffer is always reset in zrle_compress_data(), so using offset to calculate next_out and avail_out is useless.
