The problem is explained in http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/faq.html
#faq-24bpp

xvnc4viewer crashes when the client display is configured at 24 bpp.

A workaround for users is to use another color mode, e.g. X_COLOR_DEPTH=16 if using LTSP.
For KVM guests, -vga vmware could also be used.

A workaround for the epoptes package could be to use ssvncviewer on
24bpp color modes, but of course the real solution would be for
xvnc4viewer to get fixed.

** Summary changed:

- Demo mode crashes with "couldn't find suitable pixmap format"
+ xvnc4viewer crashes with "couldn't find suitable pixmap format" in 24bpp

** Also affects: vnc4 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: vnc4 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
