vkVM GFX Corruption
I agree, hourly/daily KVM would be much better. I remember the last DC I used had free KVM and the one before that was $20/hr for KVM.
There really needs to be *something* for that kind of problem, even just hiring one of the data centre guys for 30 minutes to type some commands...

I had suggested the same when they were introduced. But I think it brings some technical issues with it, hence it hadn't been done.

Am I the only one who doesn't see the point of the proper KVMoIP?

You can reduce of turn off JPEG compression by clicking the "Options" button in the top row. See if that helps improve things a bit.

The vKVM has always been a bit troublesome. If you want the full deal go for the full KVM.
