x11vnc Description

A VNC server for real X displays x11vnc allows one to view remotely and interact with real X displays (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse) with any VNC viewer. In this way it plays the role for Unix/X11 that WinVNC plays for Windows.x11vnc has built-in SSL/TLS encryption and RSA authentication, including VeNCrypt; UNIX account and password login support; server-side scaling; single port HTTPS/HTTP and VNC; Zeroconf service advertising; and TightVNC and UltraVNC file-transfer.x11vnc has also been extended to work with non-X devices: webcams and TV tuner capture devices, embedded Linux systems such as Qtopia Core, and natively on Mac OS X Aqua/Quartz. More features are described here.x11vnc also provides an encrypted Terminal Services mode (-create, -svc, or -xdmsvc options) based on Unix usernames and Unix passwords where the user does not need to memorize his VNC display/port number. Normally a virtual X session (Xvfb) is created, but it also works with X sessions on physical hardware. You may also see the tsvnc terminal services mode of the SSVNC viewer. What's New in This Release: · Better reliability for the Java Viewer applet when connecting through a Web Proxy via HTTPS. · A proxy hostname and port can be specified via applet parameters. · Proxy Authentication via Auth-Basic is supported. · More x11vnc printout in -ssl is provided to help troubleshoot this mode and other ssl connections. · Stability improvements to -threads mode. Running x11vnc this way is more reliable now. Threaded operation sometimes gives better interactive response and faster updates. The threaded mode now supports multiple VNC viewers using the same VNC encoding (some only on Linux or enabled at build time.) The threaded mode can also yield a performance enhancement in the many client case (e.g. class-room broadcast.) We have tested with 30 to50 simultaneous clients. See also -reflect. Miscellaneous new features and changes: · x11vnc automatically tries to work around an Xorg server bug involving infinitely repeating keys when turning off key repeating. Use -repeat if the automatic workaround fails.Also, the environment variable X11VNC_IDLE_TIMEOUT (seconds) is provided. · In -reflect mode the environment variable X11VNC_REFLECT_PASSWORD is provided. · The -clip mode works under -rawfb. · The -nounixpw option can disable unixpw mode if an earlier option enables it (e.g. -svc). · Scroll detection is skipped for windows with 'OpenOffice' in their name.
