Source package : x11vnc-0.9.16-3.1.src
Upstream URL : https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc
Summary : VNC Server for Real X Displays
Description :
x11vnc allows one to remotely view 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.
For Unix, the VNC implementation includes a virtual X11 server Xvnc (usually
launched via the vncserver command) that is not associated with a real
display, but provides a "fake" one X11 clients (xterm, mozilla, etc.) can
attach to. A remote user then connects to Xvnc via the VNC client vncviewer
from anywhere on the network to view and interact with the whole virtual X11
desktop.
The VNC protocol is in most cases better suited for remote connections with
low bandwidth and high latency than is the X11 protocol. Also, with no state
maintained the viewing-end can crash, be rebooted, or relocated and the
applications and desktop continue running. Not so with X11.
