| 2 | x11vnc 0.9.13 2010-12-20 |
| 3 | |
| 4 | New in the 0.9.13 x11vnc release: |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Improved support for non-X11 touchscreen devices (e.g. handheld or |
| 7 | cell phone) via Linux uinput input injection. Additional |
| 8 | tuning parameters are added. TSLIB touchscreen calibration |
| 9 | is supported. Tested on Qtmoko Neo Freerunner. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | A tool, misc/uinput.pl, is provided to diagnose uinput |
| 12 | behavior on new devices. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The env. vars. X11VNC_UINPUT_BUS and X11VNC_UINPUT_VERSION |
| 15 | are available if leaving them unset does not work. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The Linux uinput non-X11 input injection can now be bypassed: |
| 18 | events can be directly written to the /dev/input/event |
| 19 | devices specified by the user (direct_abs=..., etc.) |
| 20 | |
| 21 | A -pipeinput input injection helper script, |
| 22 | misc/qt_tslib_inject.pl is provided as a tweakable |
| 23 | non-builtin direct input injection method. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | The list of new uinput parameters for the above two features is: |
| 26 | pressure, tslib_cal, touch_always, dragskip, btn_touch; |
| 27 | direct_rel, direct_abs, direct_btn, direct_key. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The included SSL enabled Java VNC Viewers now handle Mouse |
| 30 | Wheel events. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | |
| 33 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 34 | |
| 35 | In -reflect mode, the libvncclient connection can now have |
| 36 | the pixel format modified via the environment |
| 37 | variables X11VNC_REFLECT_bitsPerSample, |
| 38 | X11VNC_REFLECT_samplesPerPixel, and |
| 39 | X11VNC_REFLECT_bytesPerPixel |
| 40 | |
| 41 | In -create mode the following environment variables are added |
| 42 | to fine tune the behavior: FIND_DISPLAY_NO_LSOF: |
| 43 | do not use lsof(1) to try to determine the Linux VT, |
| 44 | FIND_DISPLAY_NO_VT_FIND: do not try to determine the |
| 45 | Linux VT at all, X11VNC_CREATE_LC_ALL_C_OK: do not bother |
| 46 | undoing the setting LC_ALL=C that the create_display |
| 47 | script sets. The performance of the -create script |
| 48 | has been improved for large installations (100's of |
| 49 | user sessions on one machine.) |
| 50 | |
| 51 | In -unixpw mode, one can now Tab from login: to Password. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | An environment variable, X11VNC_SB_FACTOR, allows one to scale |
| 54 | the -sb screenblank sleep time from the default 2 secs. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | In -rawfb mode, a bug is fixed in setting the number of bits |
| 57 | per pixel. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Documented that -grabkbd is no longer working with some/most |
| 60 | window managers (it can prevent resizing and menu posting.) |
| 61 | |
| 62 | The macosx deprecated interface GetMainDevice() call is removed. |
| 63 | Compile with -DX11VNC_MACOSX_USE_GETMAINDEVICE if needed |
| 64 | for an old macosx version... |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Miscellaneous code cleanup. |
| 67 | |

| 70 | |
| 71 | x11vnc 0.9.12 2010-09-10 |
| 72 | |
| 73 | New in the 0.9.12 x11vnc release: |
| 74 | |
| 75 | One can now specify the maximum number of displays |
| 76 | that can be created in -create mode via the |
| 77 | env. var. X11VNC_CREATE_MAX_DISPLAYS |
| 78 | |
| 79 | The X11VNC_NO_LIMIT_SHM env. var. is added to skip any |
| 80 | automatic shared memory reduction. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | The kdm display manager is now detected when trying not to get |
| 83 | killed by the display manager. |
| 84 | |
| 85 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 86 | |
| 87 | A compile error is fixed when using --with-system-libvncserver |
| 88 | pointing to LibVNCServer 0.9.7. |
| 89 | |
| 90 | -nevershared -forever usage mode is documented. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | Old SuSE broken thread local storage is documented. |
| 93 | |
| 94 | x11vnc exit cases are documented. |
| 95 | |
| 96 | A compile bug from forced use of Xdefs.h is worked around. |
| 97 | |
| 98 | |
| 99 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 100 | |
| 101 | |
| 102 | x11vnc 0.9.11 2010-08-08 |
| 103 | |
| 104 | New in the 0.9.11 x11vnc release: |
| 105 | |
| 106 | The source tree is synchronized with the most recent libvncclient |
| 107 | (this only affects -reflect mode.) The build is fixed |
| 108 | for incompatibilities when using an external LibVNCServer |
| 109 | (e.g. ./configure --with-system-libvncserver...) |
| 110 | |
| 111 | The SSL enabled Java VNC Viewer Makefile has been modified so |
| 112 | that the jar files that are built are compatible back |
| 113 | to Java 1.4. |
| 114 | |
| 115 | In -reflect mode cursor position updates are now handled |
| 116 | correctly. |
| 117 | |
| 118 | In -create/-unixpw mode, the env. var. FD_USERPREFS may be set |
| 119 | to a filename in the user's home directory that includes |
| 120 | default username:options values (so the options do not |
| 121 | need to be typed every time at the login prompt.) |
| 122 | |
| 123 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 124 | |
| 125 | An option -always_inject is provided: Even if there is no |
| 126 | displacement (dx = dy = 0) for a VNC mouse event force |
| 127 | the pointer to the indicated x,y position anyway. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | New java viewer debugging and workaround applet parameters: |
| 130 | debugKeyboard mapF5_to_atsign forbid_Ctrl_Alt |
| 131 | |
| 132 | You can set X11VNC_AVAHI_NAME, X11VNC_AVAHI_HOST, and/or |
| 133 | X11VNC_AVAHI_PORT environment variables to override the |
| 134 | default values. For example: -env X11VNC_AVAHI_NAME=wally |
| 135 | |
| 136 | When opening the X11 display extra XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME settings |
| 137 | are attempted. |
| 138 | |
| 139 | |
| 140 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 141 | |
| 142 | |
| 143 | x11vnc 0.9.10 2010-05-03 |
| 144 | |
| 145 | New in the 0.9.10 x11vnc release: |
| 146 | |
| 147 | IPv6 is now supported for all usage modes: forward and reverse |
| 148 | connections, SSL and unencrypted, etc. |
| 149 | |
| 150 | The included SSL enabled Java VNC viewer applet now supports |
| 151 | Chained SSL Certificates (x11vnc -ssl always has.) |
| 152 | The applet autodects x11vnc and set GET=1 for faster |
| 153 | connecting via HTTPS. |
| 154 | |
| 155 | A demo CGI script 'desktop.cgi' shows how to create an |
| 156 | SSL encrypted, multi-user x11vnc web login desktop |
| 157 | service. The user logs into a secure web site and gets |
| 158 | his/her own virtual desktop and his browser accesses it |
| 159 | with the SSL Java VNC Viewer applet. |
| 160 | |
| 161 | A serverCert Java Viewer applet parameter is provided. |
| 162 | Use an authenticated HTTPS browser connection to set |
| 163 | this parameter (the user could set it locally too.) |
| 164 | The onetimekey tool has -certonly option for this scheme. |
| 165 | |
| 166 | The Xdummy script (use Xorg 'dummy' driver instead of Xvfb) |
| 167 | no longer requires being run as root. |
| 168 | |
| 169 | |
| 170 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 171 | |
| 172 | In the Java viewer applet, debugCerts and debugKeyboard parameters |
| 173 | are provided. The debugging output of the applet is more |
| 174 | readable. Some corner-case bugs (e.g. socket exceptions) |
| 175 | are now handled gracefully. Parameters forbid_Ctrl_Alt |
| 176 | and mapF5_to_atsign are added. |
| 177 | |
| 178 | The amount of time to wait for HTTPS applet downloads to finish |
| 179 | can be set in env. var. X11VNC_HTTPS_DOWNLOAD_WAIT_TIME. |
| 180 | |
| 181 | The -xkb mode is automatically enabled if there are more than |
| 182 | 4 keysyms per key. |
| 183 | |
| 184 | -coe is now an alias for -connect_or_exit. |
| 185 | |
| 186 | The -input_eagerly option enables this LibVNCServer feature |
| 187 | (it is like -allinput.) |
| 188 | |
| 189 | The "%" unix password verification tricks for the -unixpw |
| 190 | option are now documented. They also run a command |
| 191 | in UNIXPW_CMD. |
| 192 | |
| 193 | In -create (-svc, etc.) modes, a warning is printed out if Xvfb |
| 194 | cannot be found. Xvfb '+kb' option is checked for. |
| 195 | The -env CREATE_DISPLAY_OUTPUT=/tmp/mydebug.txt debugging |
| 196 | option is documented. Try to preserve user's PATH |
| 197 | if possible. |
| 198 | |
| 199 | In XDMCP connection mode, a test for GDM listening only |
| 200 | on IPv6 (::1) is performed. The interface can also be |
| 201 | specified via FD_XDMCP_IF. |
| 202 | |
| 203 | The example scripts connect_switch, ultravnc_repeater.pl, inet6to4 |
| 204 | have settings to let them run reliably for long times |
| 205 | as daemons. They also support IPv6. |
| 206 | |
| 207 | IPv6 notes: for some very esoteric cases (e.g. -chatwindow) |
| 208 | IPv4 localhost may be required for local IPC. A demo |
| 209 | transition tool 'inet6to4' is also included (can be |
| 210 | used for other apps.) x11vnc options related to IPv6: |
| 211 | -listen6, -6, -no6, -noipv4, -noipv6, and -connect, |
| 212 | -proxy. |
| 213 | |
| 214 | Use STUNNEL_LISTEN in -stunnel mode to have it listen on a |
| 215 | particular interface. Also STUNNEL_PROG. |
| 216 | |
| 217 | New remote control query options: pointer_x, pointer_y, |
| 218 | pointer_same, pointer_root, and pointer_mask. A demo |
| 219 | script using them misc/panner.pl is provided. |
| 220 | |
| 221 | Remote control change of -clip option will not create new |
| 222 | framebuffer if the size has not changed (for panner.pl) |
| 223 | |
| 224 | The X11VNC_DISABLE_SSL_CLIENT_MODE env. var. can be set to |
| 225 | disable SSL client role in reverse connections. This |
| 226 | means the VNC viewer side must be in SSL client role. |
| 227 | UltraVNC repeater operation can benefit from this. |
| 228 | |
| 229 | The SSL_INIT_TIMEOUT is increased to 1 hour if 'repeater' |
| 230 | is detected in a reverse connect string. |
| 231 | |
| 232 | The X property X11VNC_TRAP_XRANDR can be set on a desktop to |
| 233 | force x11vnc to use the -xrandr screen size change |
| 234 | trapping code. |
| 235 | |
| 236 | The -sslScripts option prints out the SSL certificate management |
| 237 | scripts. |
| 238 | |
| 239 | Suggest '-auth guess' and '-findauth' if X connection fails. |
| 240 | |
| 241 | The TightVNC sercurity type (TightVNC features enabler) now |
| 242 | works for RFB version 3.8. |
| 243 | |
| 244 | RECORD scroll detection is now working with the new gtk/gdk scroll |
| 245 | mechanism. Set X11VNC_SCROLL_MUST_EQUAL to disable. |
| 246 | |

| 255 | |
| 256 | |
| 257 | x11vnc 0.9.9 2009-12-21 |
| 258 | |
| 259 | |
| 260 | |
| 261 | New in the 0.9.9 x11vnc release: |
| 262 | |
| 263 | A new option -findauth runs the FINDDISPLAY script that applies |
| 264 | heuristics to try to determine the correct XAUTHORITY |
| 265 | file. The use of '-auth guess' will use the XAUTHORITY |
| 266 | that -findauth reveals. This can be handy in with |
| 267 | the lastest GDM where the ability to store cookies in |
| 268 | ~/.Xauthority has been removed. |
| 269 | |
| 270 | If x11vnc is running as root (e.g. inetd or XDM/GDM/KDM) |
| 271 | the FD_XDM=1 mode will be tried if the above -findauth |
| 272 | or '-auth guess' command fails; it will find the |
| 273 | correct XAUTHORITY for the given display (this works for |
| 274 | XDM/GDM/KDM if the login greeter panel is up or if someone |
| 275 | has already logged into an X session.) You can also |
| 276 | set -env FD_XDM=1 to force it to be done on the first try. |
| 277 | |
| 278 | The -unixpw_system_greeter option, when used in combined |
| 279 | unixpw and XDMCP FINDCREATEDISPLAY mode (e.g. -xdmsvc), |
| 280 | enables the user to press Escape to jump directly to the |
| 281 | XDM/GDM/KDM login greeter screen. This way the user |
| 282 | avoids entering his unix password twice at X session |
| 283 | creation time. For subseqent logins to the same session, |
| 284 | he uses the regular x11vnc unixpw "login:" prompt. Also, |
| 285 | the unixpw login panel now has a short help displayed |
| 286 | if the user presses 'F1' that lists the options. |
| 287 | |
| 288 | The -appshare option enables simple application sharing based on |
| 289 | the -id/-sid mechanism. Every new toplevel window that |
| 290 | the application creates induces a new viewer window via |
| 291 | a reverse connection. The -id/-sid and -connect options |
| 292 | are required. Run 'x11vnc -appshare -help' for more info. |
| 293 | |
| 294 | Heuristics are applied to try to determine if the X display |
| 295 | is currently in a Display Manager Greeter Login panel |
| 296 | (e.g. GDM.) If so, x11vnc's creation of any windows and |
| 297 | use of XFIXES are delayed. |
| 298 | |
| 299 | This is to try to avoid x11vnc being killed after the user |
| 300 | logs in if the GDM KillInitClients=true is in effect. |
| 301 | So one no longer needs to set KillInitClients=false in |
| 302 | gdm.conf. Note that in recent GDM the KillInitClients |
| 303 | option has been removed. |
| 304 | |
| 305 | Also delayed is the use of the XFIXES cursor fetching |
| 306 | functionality; this avoids an Xorg bug that causes Xorg |
| 307 | to crash right after the user logs in. |
| 308 | |
| 309 | x11vnc now tries to be more aggressive in keeping up with VNC |
| 310 | client's framebuffer update requests. Some broken VNC |
| 311 | clients continuously spray these requests at VNC servers |
| 312 | (regardless of whether they have received any updates |
| 313 | or not.) The -extra_fbur option allows one to fine tune |
| 314 | the setting. |
| 315 | |
| 316 | The "-display WAIT:cmd=...", -find, -create modes now work |
| 317 | correctly for the user-supplied login program scheme |
| 318 | "-unixpw_cmd ...", as long as the login program supports |
| 319 | running commands specified in the environment variable |
| 320 | "RFB_UNIXPW_CMD_RUN" as the logged-in user. The mode |
| 321 | "-unixpw_nis ..." has also been made more consistent. |
| 322 | The username option "tag=..." can be used to set FD_TAG. |
| 323 | |
| 324 | The -stunnel option (like -ssl but uses stunnel as an external |
| 325 | helper program) now works with the -ssl "SAVE" and "TMP" |
| 326 | special certificate names. The -sslverify and -sslCRL |
| 327 | options now work correctly in -stunnel mode. Single port |
| 328 | HTTPS connections are also supported for this mode. |
| 329 | |
| 330 | The remote control command -R can be used to instruct x11vnc |
| 331 | to resend its most recent copy of the Clipboard, |
| 332 | Primary, or Cutbuffer selections: "x11vnc -R |
| 333 | resend_clipboard", "x11vnc -R resend_primary", and |
| 334 | "x11vnc -R resend_cutbuffer". |
| 335 | |
| 336 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 337 | |
| 338 | The fonts in the GUI (-gui) can now by set via environment |
| 339 | variables, e.g. -env X11VNC_FONT_BOLD='Helvetica -16 bold' |
| 340 | and -env X11VNC_FONT_FIXED='Courier -14'. |
| 341 | |
| 342 | The value of the -timeout option is now also used for the timing |
| 343 | out of reverse connections. The -timeout exit will |
| 344 | occur if no client has made it to normal operating state |
| 345 | (instead of merely trying to connect.) |
| 346 | |
| 347 | One can add extra URL parameters to the HTTPS (-ssl) urls |
| 348 | via X11VNC_EXTRA_HTTPS_PARAMS without needing to edit |
| 349 | index.vnc. E.g.: -env X11VNC_EXTRA_HTTPS_PARAMS='?GET=1' |
| 350 | |
| 351 | One can make the libvncserver HTTP (non-SSL) server listen on |
| 352 | localhost: -env X11VNC_HTTP_LISTEN_LOCALHOST=1 (this way |
| 353 | only the single-port VNC+HTTPS is exposed to the network.) |
| 354 | |
| 355 | Warnings are printed out at startup if $DISPLAY appears to |
| 356 | start with "localhost:" (SSH X11 forwarding) or |
| 357 | "hostname:" (remote X display; will fail w/o -noshm) |
| 358 | |
| 359 | The -solid option now uses the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS env. var |
| 360 | if available. The -solid option now works in xfce. |
| 361 | If available, the dbus_launch(1) will be used in |
| 362 | FINDCREATEDISPLAY for gnome sessions. |
| 363 | |
| 364 | The bcx_xattach remote control command was added to facilitate |
| 365 | xattach and x2x desktop cursor switching. Other new |
| 366 | remote control commands: grab_state, ping:mystring, |
| 367 | grablocal, resend_cutbuffer, resend_clipboard, |
| 368 | resend_primary, keycode, keysym, fakebuttonevent, |
| 369 | ptr, sleep, get_xprop, set_xprop, wininfo, pointer_pos, |
| 370 | mouse_xy, noop, guess_dbus, DIRECT:query. Remote control |
| 371 | scripting, -query_retries, and -remote_prefix were |
| 372 | also added. |
| 373 | |
| 374 | In -rawfb mode the X display will not be opened at all unless |
| 375 | the -rawfb string is prefixed with '+' or -display |
| 376 | was specified on the cmdline. |
| 377 | |
| 378 | For multiple, separate x11vnc instances on the same X display, |
| 379 | one can rename the X11VNC_REMOTE, X11VNC_TICKER, and |
| 380 | VNC_CONNECT property names to unique ones. |
| 381 | |
| 382 | The -showrfbauth option prints out the VNC rfbauth password. |
| 383 | |
| 384 | The XDAMAGE mechanism is now automatically disabled for a |
| 385 | period of time if a game or screensaver generates too |
| 386 | many XDAMAGE rectangles per second. This avoids the X11 |
| 387 | event queue from soaking up too much memory. |
| 388 | |
| 389 | x11vnc does not switch on server autorepeat if any keys are |
| 390 | pressed down to work around a recent Xorg server and/or |
| 391 | gnome bug where the key will never stop repeating. |
| 392 | |
| 393 | Thse list of current clients is kept more up-to-date in the |
| 394 | tkx11vnc gui. Bugs in the gui setpass mode have been |
| 395 | fixed. |
| 396 | |
| 397 | Threads stability is further improved. See under the -threads |
| 398 | option help info about -env X11VNC_THREADS_NEW_FB_SLEEP=ms |
| 399 | |
| 400 | There is an experimental workaround: "-env X11VNC_WATCH_DX_DY=1" |
| 401 | that tries to avoid problems with poorly constructed |
| 402 | menu themes that place the initial position of the mouse |
| 403 | cursor inside a menu item's active zone. |
| 404 | |
| 405 | The crypt(3) function is now declared inside the x11vnc code on |
| 406 | all platforms (not just Linux). To disable this, set |
| 407 | CPPFLAGS='-DDO_NOT_DECLARE_CRYPT' while configuring. |
| 408 | (crypt is declared to avoid problems with header files.) |
| 409 | |
| 410 | Error reasons are printed for -storepasswd failures. |
| 411 | |
| 412 | Two scripts are added to x11vnc/misc: connect_switch and |
| 413 | ultravnc_repeater.pl |

| 426 | x11vnc 0.9.8 2009-07-08 |
| 427 | |
| 428 | |
| 429 | New in the 0.9.8 x11vnc release: |
| 430 | |
| 431 | Better reliability for the Java Viewer applet when connecting |
| 432 | through a Web Proxy via HTTPS. A proxy hostname |
| 433 | and port can be specified via applet parameters. |
| 434 | Proxy Authentication via Auth-Basic is supported. |
| 435 | More x11vnc printout in -ssl is provided to help |
| 436 | troubleshoot this mode and other ssl connections. |
| 437 | |
| 438 | Stability improvements to -threads mode. Running x11vnc this |
| 439 | way is more reliable now. Threaded operation sometimes |
| 440 | gives better interactive response and faster updates. The |
| 441 | threaded mode now supports multiple VNC viewers using |
| 442 | the same VNC encoding (some only on Linux or enabled |
| 443 | at build time.) The threaded mode can also yield |
| 444 | a performance enhancement in the many client case |
| 445 | (e.g. class-room broadcast.) We have tested with 30 to |
| 446 | 50 simultaneous clients. See also -reflect. |
| 447 | |
| 448 | |
| 449 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 450 | |
| 451 | x11vnc automatically tries to work around an Xorg server bug |
| 452 | involving infinitely repeating keys when turning off key |
| 453 | repeating. Use -repeat if the automatic workaround fails. |
| 454 | Also, the environment variable X11VNC_IDLE_TIMEOUT |
| 455 | (seconds) is provided. |
| 456 | |
| 457 | In -reflect mode the environment variable X11VNC_REFLECT_PASSWORD |
| 458 | is provided. |
| 459 | |
| 460 | The -clip mode works under -rawfb. |
| 461 | |
| 462 | The -nounixpw option can disable unixpw mode if an earlier option |
| 463 | enables it (e.g. -svc). |
| 464 | |
| 465 | Scroll detection is skipped for windows with 'OpenOffice' in |
| 466 | their name. |

| 478 | x11vnc 0.9.7 2009-03-31 |
| 479 | |
| 480 | |
| 481 | New in the 0.9.7 x11vnc release: |
| 482 | |
| 483 | Basic support for building with VirtualGL's TurboVNC (an |
| 484 | enhanced TightVNC for fast LAN high framerate usage) |
| 485 | encoding and TightVNC modifications. More info: |
| 486 | http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/faq.html#faq-turbovnc |
| 487 | and x11vnc/misc/turbovnc/README. |
| 488 | |
| 489 | The -ncache_cr option has been fixed and so in -ncache mode |
| 490 | smooth opaque window motions are now work correctly. Try |
| 491 | it out to see how smooth it is even on a slow link. |
| 492 | |
| 493 | Support for Linux text consoles (virtual terminals, e.g. 1-6) |
| 494 | is provided via, e.g., 'x11vnc -rawfb vt2' (for virtual |
| 495 | terminal #2). |
| 496 | |
| 497 | This is like LinuxVNC (i.e. text only), it avoids using |
| 498 | /dev/fb and uses /dev/vcsaN instead (the '-rawfb console' |
| 499 | mode uses /dev/fb.) With /dev/vcsaN the text terminal |
| 500 | is accessible even it if is not the currently active one. |
| 501 | |
| 502 | The -rawfb option now supports framebuffers with bits per pixel |
| 503 | less than 8 (e.g. 4 or 1 bpp.) |
| 504 | |
| 505 | Reverse connections now work in Anonymous Diffie Hellman SSL/TLS |
| 506 | mode. Reverse connections also work for VeNCrypt and |
| 507 | ANONTLS modes. |
| 508 | |
| 509 | |
| 510 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 511 | |
| 512 | The included SSL enabled UltraVNC java viewer now has a |
| 513 | configurable [Home] entry in the drives drop down menu. |
| 514 | |
| 515 | In the -create, -svc, etc. modes one can now specify a |
| 516 | range of X displays to ignore in X11VNC_SKIP_DISPLAY. |
| 517 | Improvements and bugfixes were made to the find_display |
| 518 | and create_display scripts. FD_EXTRA option is provided. |
| 519 | |
| 520 | The '-rawfb video' option finds the video device file more |
| 521 | carefully. |
| 522 | |
| 523 | The -rmflag option allows a new way to indicate to other |
| 524 | applications that x11vnc has started. |
| 525 | |
| 526 | All of the java applet parameters are now documented in |
| 527 | the classes/ssl/README file. |
| 528 | |
| 529 | There is now a "sendbell" remote control command. |
| 530 | |
| 531 | A one-time -padgeom once:WxH mode is added. |
| 532 | |
| 533 | Improvements to the CUPS Terminal Services helper mode. |
| 534 | |
| 535 | If the X display cannot be opened normally then the env. var. |
| 536 | XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME=localhost is tried. |
| 537 | |
| 538 | Bugfix for selection transfer to a now non-existent X window |
| 539 | (Thunderbird can cause this.) Related, the env. variable |
| 540 | LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK is now set by default. |
| 541 | |
| 542 | Bugfix for -8to24 mode due to nonstandard indexed color support. |
| 543 | |
| 544 | The libvncserver and x11vnc autoconf/automake settings have |
| 545 | been improved. |
| 546 | |
| 547 | libXrandr include file is now found on Solaris. |

| 559 | x11vnc 0.9.6 2008-12-10 |
| 560 | |
| 561 | |
| 562 | New in the 0.9.6 x11vnc release: |
| 563 | |
| 564 | x11vnc's SSL encryption is extended to support the VeNCrypt and |
| 565 | TLS (older; vino) SSL/TLS security type extensions to VNC. |
| 566 | |
| 567 | Anonymous Diffie-Hellman key exchange (-ssl ANON) and Certificate |
| 568 | Revocation List support (-sslCRL) is added to the SSL |
| 569 | encryption mode. |
| 570 | |
| 571 | The Java viewer applet can now be served up through the VNC port |
| 572 | (5900) in addition to the normal HTTP port (5800) via |
| 573 | the -http_oneport option. Previously this only worked |
| 574 | for SSL connections and HTTPS. |
| 575 | |
| 576 | The "-rfbport PROMPT" mode presents a simple gui for the user |
| 577 | to select a port for the x11vnc service and a few other |
| 578 | settings. This enables a menu entry for naive users |
| 579 | that is included in x11vnc.desktop. |
| 580 | |
| 581 | If x11vnc is not built with the Avahi Zeroconf library an external |
| 582 | helper program (avahi-publish or dns-sd on Mac OS X) |
| 583 | is used instead. |
| 584 | |
| 585 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 586 | |
| 587 | The default mode for '-ssl' is now the '-ssl SAVE' mode; i.e. |
| 588 | the generated certificate is saved and reused in |
| 589 | subsequent sessions rather than being discarded. |
| 590 | Use '-ssl TMP' recover the old way. This change made |
| 591 | to for it to be more likely that the VNC Viewer can save |
| 592 | the accepted cert for future authentications. |
| 593 | |
| 594 | The solid background color option works on the Mac OS X console. |
| 595 | |
| 596 | The -reopen option enables x11vnc to try to re connect to the X |
| 597 | display if GDM (or other display manager) kills it just |
| 598 | after the user logs in. |
| 599 | |
| 600 | The -dhparams option can be used to point to your own Diffie |
| 601 | Hellman parameters. |
| 602 | |
| 603 | The -setdefer option allows tuning how quickly updates will |
| 604 | be sent. Default setting tuned. |
| 605 | |
| 606 | The option -zeroconf is now an alias for -avahi/-mdns. |
| 607 | |
| 608 | In pipeinput mode, the pipe filehandle is now closed when |
| 609 | x11vnc exits. |
| 610 | |
| 611 | The -sshonly option turns off VeNCrypt and TLSVNC (vino) mod |
| 612 | leaving only the standard SSL (i.e. vncs://) |
| 613 | |
| 614 | For testing, the option -rand in an alias for -rawfb rand -nopw |
| 615 | |
| 616 | Minor tweaks to improve CUPS Print tunneling. |

| 627 | x11vnc 0.9.5 2008-10-24 |
| 628 | |
| 629 | |
| 630 | New in the 0.9.5 x11vnc release: |
| 631 | |
| 632 | Symmetric key encryption using the RC4, AES, Blowfish, and 3DES |
| 633 | ciphers is supported via the -enc cipher:keyfile option. |
| 634 | The SSVNC unix viewer 1.0.20 and later supports these |
| 635 | encryption methods. |
| 636 | |
| 637 | Server-side scaling can now have different scale factors along |
| 638 | the horizontal and vertical axes. E.g. -scale 1280x1024 |
| 639 | (same as -geometry 1280x1024) or -scale 0.8x0.75 |
| 640 | |
| 641 | The -chatwindow option allows a chat window to appear on the |
| 642 | X console during UltraVNC chats (requires the SSVNC |
| 643 | viewer package.) |
| 644 | |
| 645 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 646 | |
| 647 | The HTTP Java viewer applet jar, classes/VncViewer.jar, has |
| 648 | been updated with an improved implementation based on |
| 649 | the code used by the classes/ssl applets. |
| 650 | |
| 651 | A description and instructions are now printed out when |
| 652 | X_ShmAttach fails if one tries to attach to a remote |
| 653 | $DISPLAY (i.e. $DISPLAY is on a different machine from |
| 654 | the machine x11vnc is running on; this often happens |
| 655 | with SSH X redirection, X terminal servers, etc). |
| 656 | |
| 657 | The -allow option now works correctly in -ssl mode. |
| 658 | |
| 659 | The -remap option now works on the MacOSX console. |

| 670 | x11vnc 0.9.4 2008-09-17 |
| 671 | |
| 672 | |
| 673 | New in the 0.9.4 x11vnc release: |
| 674 | |
| 675 | Reverse VNC connections (-connect and -connect_or_exit options) |
| 676 | work in the -find and -create X session FINDCREATEDISPLAY |
| 677 | modes. |
| 678 | |
| 679 | Reverse VNC connections (either normal or using SSL) can use a |
| 680 | Web Proxy, a SOCKS proxy, the UltraVNC repeater proxy, |
| 681 | an SSH connection, or even a CGI URL to make the outgoing |
| 682 | connection (-proxy option). Forward connections can |
| 683 | use the -ssh option to set up a reachable redirection. |
| 684 | |
| 685 | Support for the ZYWRLE encoding is added, this is the RealVNC ZRLE |
| 686 | encoding extended to do motion video and photo regions |
| 687 | more efficiently by way of a Wavelet based transformation. |
| 688 | |
| 689 | The session finding and creating modes (-find and -create) have |
| 690 | been improved to be more reliable and also provide a new |
| 691 | desktop types (xfce) and new service redirection options. |
| 692 | |
| 693 | Support for indexed colormaps (PseudoColor) with depths other |
| 694 | than 8 is provided (depths 1 to 16 now work). |
| 695 | |
| 696 | Java viewer applet source code is provided in the x11vnc 0.9.4 |
| 697 | tarball so now everything can be built from source. |
| 698 | |
| 699 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 700 | |
| 701 | To unset Caps_Lock, Num_Lock and raise all keys in the X server |
| 702 | use -clear_all, or by remote control 'x11vnc -R clear_all' |
| 703 | |
| 704 | The -autoport option gives more control over the server port |
| 705 | range that probes. |
| 706 | |
| 707 | The -ping option can be used to help keep idle connections alive. |
| 708 | |
| 709 | The -finddpy and -listdpy utilities help to debug and configure |
| 710 | the -find, -create, and -display WAIT:... modes. |
| 711 | |
| 712 | Some automatic detection of screen resizes are handled even if |
| 713 | the -xrandr option is not supplied. |
| 714 | |
| 715 | The -advertise_truecolor option can workaround some VNC viewer |
| 716 | incompatibilities with PseudoColor. |
| 717 | |
| 718 | The option '-clip xinerama0' can be used to clip to the first |
| 719 | Xinerama sub-screen, etc. |
| 720 | |
| 721 | If a fast framebuffer read rate is detected the -wait and -defer |
| 722 | parameters are reduced to 10 and 15 msec, respectively. |
| 723 | |
| 724 | Pasting of the selection/clipboard into remote applications |
| 725 | (e.g. Java) is improved. |
| 726 | |
| 727 | Usage with dvorak keyboards is improved. The option -macuskbd is |
| 728 | available on MacOSX to use the original US keyboard code. |
| 729 | |
| 730 | Via a compiler option (-DENABLE_GRABLOCAL) one can use the |
| 731 | -grablocal n option to filter VNC client input if someone |
| 732 | at the console has done mouse or keyboard input n secs ago. |
| 733 | |
| 734 | The -sleepin option can now sleep a random amount of time between |
| 735 | min and max time delays (-sleepin min-max). |

| 746 | x11vnc 0.9.3 2007-10-04 |
| 747 | |
| 748 | |
| 749 | New in the 0.9.3 x11vnc release: |
| 750 | |
| 751 | This release provides client-side caching to improve interactive |
| 752 | response. Almost no VNC viewers implement caching which is why |
| 753 | VNC is slow compared to other remote graphics protocols. |
| 754 | |
| 755 | The x11vnc caching will work with any VNC viewer, but they will |
| 756 | not hide the pixmap cache region that is below the main desktop |
| 757 | (one must adjust the window manually). The SSVNC Unix VNC viewer, |
| 758 | however, automatically detects and hides the region. |
| 759 | |
| 760 | To enable caching, supply "-ncache n" to x11vnc, where the |
| 761 | number n, e.g. 10, indicates how much memory to devote to the |
| 762 | caching scheme. |
| 763 | |

| 776 | |
| 777 | |
| 778 | New in the 0.9.2 x11vnc release: |
| 779 | |
| 780 | A compile-time bug is fixed for when the OpenSSL library is not |
| 781 | available or --without-ssl is supplied; previously the |
| 782 | build would fail. |
| 783 | |
| 784 | One can configure x11vnc via "configure --with-system-libvncserver" |
| 785 | to use a system installed libvncserver library instead of |
| 786 | the one bundled in the release tarball. |
| 787 | |
| 788 | If UltraVNC file transfer or chat is detected, then VNC clients |
| 789 | are "pinged" more often to prevent these side channels |
| 790 | from becoming serviced too infrequently. |
| 791 | |
| 792 | In -unixpw mode in the username and password dialog no text will |
| 793 | be echoed if the first character sent is "Escape". This |
| 794 | enables a convenience feature in SSVNC to send the username |
| 795 | and password automatically. |
| 796 | |
| 797 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 798 | |
| 799 | When building from the CVS tree --with-x11vnc must be supplied if |
| 800 | you want x11vnc to be built. The LibVNCServer release |
| 801 | tarball no longer contains the x11vnc source. |

| 814 | |
| 815 | |
| 816 | New in the 0.9.1 x11vnc release: |
| 817 | |
| 818 | A new Unix username identification scheme is provided when |
| 819 | SSL client certificates are used to authenticate VNC |
| 820 | viewers. The username is extracted from the 'Subject' |
| 821 | section of the cert. The option is "-users sslpeer=" |
| 822 | which, like "-users unixpw=" already does, will cause |
| 823 | a switch to the Unix user. This is useful for the |
| 824 | -find and -create options that try to find an existing |
| 825 | X session associated with the user or create a new one. |
| 826 | |
| 827 | The UltraVNC Java Viewer has been modified to support SSL |
| 828 | connections. Some bugs were also fixed and some |
| 829 | improvements added. A patch file and a compiled jar file |
| 830 | (UltraViewerSSL.jar and SignedUltraViewerSSL.jar in the |
| 831 | classes/ssl directory) are provided in the x11vnc package. |
| 832 | |
| 833 | For the -user option groups are now handled better by using |
| 834 | initgroups(3), or if finer control is needed one can |
| 835 | use: "-users user1.group1,..." |
| 836 | |
| 837 | When SSL client certification is being used and external login |
| 838 | programs are being used the env. var. RFB_SSL_CLIENT_CERT |
| 839 | is set to the clients certificate. Set X11VNC_SSLPEER_CN |
| 840 | to use the Common Name instead of the certificate email |
| 841 | address to find the unix username. |
| 842 | |
| 843 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 844 | |
| 845 | The -wait and -defer defaults were lowered from 30 to 20 |
| 846 | milliseconds, set the values explicitly if this increases |
| 847 | the load too much for your liking. |
| 848 | |
| 849 | In -create mode where a Xvfb session is started, mwm was added |
| 850 | as a session type. setpgrp(2) is used for the spawned |
| 851 | process if available. The XKEYBOARD extension is |
| 852 | enabled (+kb, but it doesn't seem to always work). |
| 853 | TrueColor is forced to be the default visual (recent |
| 854 | Xvfb seem to choose DirectColor, this is likely a bug) |
| 855 | One can also force creating a new Xvfb by setting the |
| 856 | env. var. X11VNC_FINDDISPLAY_ALWAYS_FAILS (not exactly |
| 857 | clear what this would be used for). |
| 858 | |
| 859 | The WAITBG env. var. enables -display WAIT:... to take place in |
| 860 | the background. |
| 861 | |
| 862 | One can specify the X11VNC_SKIP_DISPLAY env. var. for a list of |
| 863 | displays to exclude in the FINDDISPLAY action. This can |
| 864 | also be specified via nd=... as a -unixpw login option. |
| 865 | |
| 866 | setsid() or setpgrp() is called for the external command spawned |
| 867 | by the -gone option (since it may be long lived, e.g. a |
| 868 | screen locker). |
| 869 | |
| 870 | The script "onetimekey" utility is provided in the classes/ssl |
| 871 | subdirectory that allows a (very long) string representing |
| 872 | a Client SSL certificate to be provided by the authenticating |
| 873 | client, or via https cgi script (e.g. after a web login). |
| 874 | |
| 875 | Some bugs were fixed in the libvncserver implementation of |
| 876 | UltraVNC file transfer. |

| 893 | |
| 894 | VNC Service advertising via mDNS / ZeroConf / BonJour with the |
| 895 | Avahi client library. Enable via "-avahi". |
| 896 | |
| 897 | Implementations of UltraVNC's TextChat, SingleWindow, and |
| 898 | ServerInput extensions (requires ultravnc viewer or ssvnc |
| 899 | Unix viewer). They toggle the selection of a single window |
| 900 | (-id), and disable (friendly) user input and viewing |
| 901 | (monitor blank) at the VNC server. |
| 902 | |
| 903 | Short aliases "-find", "-create", "-svc", and "-xdmsvc" for |
| 904 | commonly used FINDCREATEDISPLAY usage modes (to find |
| 905 | the user's display or create one, etc). |
| 906 | |
| 907 | Reverse VNC connections (viewer listening) now work in SSL |
| 908 | (-ssl) mode. |
| 909 | |
| 910 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 911 | |
| 912 | New options to control the Monitor power state and keyboard/mouse |
| 913 | grabbing: -forcedpms, -clientdpms, -noserverdpms, |
| 914 | and -grabalways. |
| 915 | |
| 916 | A simple way to emulate inetd(8) to some degree via the "-loopbg" |
| 917 | option. |
| 918 | |
| 919 | Monitor the accuracy of XDAMAGE and apply "-noxdamage" if it is |
| 920 | not working well. OpenGL applications like like beryl and |
| 921 | MythTv have been shown to make XDAMAGE not work properly. |

| 943 | x11vnc 0.8.4 2007-02-01 |
| 944 | |
| 945 | |
| 946 | New in the 0.8.4 x11vnc release: |
| 947 | |
| 948 | Native Mac OS X Aqua/Quartz support. It exports the full |
| 949 | display (no X11 server, etc). |
| 950 | |
| 951 | This provides an alternative to OSXvnc; some activities |
| 952 | are faster (and see the client-side caching feature |
| 953 | -ncache in the 0.8.5 development version for more |
| 954 | speedups). |
| 955 | |
| 956 | x11vnc can act as a VNC reflector/repeater using the |
| 957 | "-reflect host:N" option. This is useful for large |
| 958 | classroom broadcasting or demos. You set up a number |
| 959 | of reflectors to spread the network and CPU load around |
| 960 | for better response. |
| 961 | |
| 962 | A new login mode: "-display WAIT:cmd=FINDCREATEDISPLAY -unixpw ..." |
| 963 | that will Create a new X session (Xvfb, Xdummy, or |
| 964 | Xorg) for the user if it cannot find the user's X |
| 965 | session display via the FINDDISPLAY method. It will |
| 966 | be re-found upon reconnection. |
| 967 | |
| 968 | This enables a simple "terminal services" mode based on |
| 969 | Unix username and password and where the user does not |
| 970 | have to memorize their VNC display number, etc. |
| 971 | |
| 972 | |
| 973 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 974 | |
| 975 | Option -nodpms to avoid problems with programs like KDE's |
| 976 | kdesktop_lock that keep restarting the screen saver |
| 977 | every few seconds even with active VNC clients connected. |
| 978 | |
| 979 | The "-N" option couples the VNC Display number to the X Display |
| 980 | number. E.g. if your X DISPLAY is :2 then the VNC display |
| 981 | will be :2 (i.e. using port 5902). If that port is taken |
| 982 | x11vnc will exit. |
| 983 | |
| 984 | Wireframe copyrect detection for local user activity (e.g. someone |
| 985 | sitting at the physical display moving windows). You |
| 986 | can disable this with the -nowireframelocal option. |
| 987 | |
| 988 | To automatically fix the common mouse motion problem on XINERAMA |
| 989 | (multi-headed) displays, the -xwarppointer option is |
| 990 | enabled by default when XINERAMA is active. You can |
| 991 | disable this with the -noxwarppointer option. |
| 992 | |
| 993 | By default in -reflect mode -shared is implied (it makes sense), |
| 994 | use -noshared after the -reflect option to disable this. |
| 995 | |
| 996 | The -prog option lets you specify the full path (argv[0]) to |
| 997 | the program, in case it is spawned by inetd/tcpd and |
| 998 | cannot determine its path. The path is needed for the |
| 999 | -http option to guess the http classes directory. |
| 1000 | |
| 1001 | Usually not needed, but there are many options for tuning the |
| 1002 | native Mac OS X mode: -macnodim -macnosleep -macnosaver |
| 1003 | -macnowait -macwheel -macnoswap -macnoresize -maciconanim |
| 1004 | -macmenu. |
| 1005 | |
| 1006 | An option -debug_xdamage has been added for debugging and profiling. |

| 1018 | x11vnc 0.8.3 2006-11-13 |
| 1019 | |
| 1020 | |
| 1021 | New in the 0.8.3 x11vnc release: |
| 1022 | |
| 1023 | The -ssl option provides SSL encryption and authentication |
| 1024 | natively via the www.openssl.org library. One can use |
| 1025 | from a simple self-signed certificate server certificate |
| 1026 | up to full CA and client certificate authentication schemes. |
| 1027 | |
| 1028 | The -sslverify option allows for authenticating VNC clients via |
| 1029 | their certificates in either -ssl or -stunnel modes. |
| 1030 | |
| 1031 | Certificate creation and management tools are provide in the |
| 1032 | -sslGenCert, -sslGenCA, and related options. |
| 1033 | |
| 1034 | An SSL enabled Java applet VNC Viewer applet is provided in |
| 1035 | classes/ssl/VncViewer.jar. |
| 1036 | |
| 1037 | The applet may also be loaded into the web |
| 1038 | browser via HTTPS, i.e one can use the VNC port, |
| 1039 | e.g. https://host:5900/ |
| 1040 | |
| 1041 | See our "Enhanced TightVNC Viewer" project, for native |
| 1042 | SSL enabled viewers. |
| 1043 | |
| 1044 | The -unixpw option supports Unix username and password |
| 1045 | authentication. The -ssl or -localhost and -stunnel |
| 1046 | options (or detection of an SSH tunnel) are enforced in |
| 1047 | this mode to prevent password sniffing. |
| 1048 | |
| 1049 | Coupling -unixpw with -display WAIT:cmd=FINDDISPLAY provides a |
| 1050 | way to allow a user to login with their UNIX password |
| 1051 | and have their display connected to automatically. |
| 1052 | |
| 1053 | Hooks are provided in the -unixpw_cmd and "-passwdfile cmd:,custom:..." |
| 1054 | options to allow you to supply your own authentication |
| 1055 | and password lookup programs (e.g. LDAP). |
| 1056 | |
| 1057 | The "-ultrafilexfer" alias is provided and improved UltraVNC |
| 1058 | filetransfer rates have been achieved. |
| 1059 | |
| 1060 | The -rotate option enables you to rotate or reflect the screen |
| 1061 | before exporting via VNC. This is intended for use on |
| 1062 | handhelds and other devices where the rotation orientation |
| 1063 | is not "natural". |
| 1064 | |
| 1065 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 1066 | |
| 1067 | Similar to -ssl, the -stunnel option starts up a SSL tunnel server |
| 1068 | stunnel (that must be installed separately on the system) |
| 1069 | to allow only encrypted SSL connections from the network. |
| 1070 | |
| 1071 | Option -sslnofail to exit immediately if there are any SSL |
| 1072 | connection failures. |
| 1073 | |
| 1074 | A simpler variant of -unixpw is the -unixpw_nis option that |
| 1075 | works in environments where the encrypted passwords are |
| 1076 | readable, e.g. NIS. |
| 1077 | |
| 1078 | x11vnc can be configured and built to not depend on X11 libraries |
| 1079 | "./configure --without-x" for -rawfb only operation |
| 1080 | (e.g. embedded linux console devices). |
| 1081 | |
| 1082 | Add -cursor_drag to change the mouse cursor during Drag and Drop, etc. |
| 1083 | |
| 1084 | Under the "-connect_or_exit host" option x11vnc will exit |
| 1085 | immediately unless the reverse connection to host |
| 1086 | succeeds. The "-rfbport 0" option disables TCP listening |
| 1087 | for connections (useful for this mode). |
| 1088 | |
| 1089 | The "-rawfb rand" and "-rawfb none" options are useful for |
| 1090 | testing automation scripts, etc., without requiring a |
| 1091 | full desktop. |
| 1092 | |
| 1093 | Reduced spewing of information at startup, use "-verbose" (also |
| 1094 | "-v") to turn it back on for debugging. |

| 1107 | |
| 1108 | |
| 1109 | New in the 0.8.2 x11vnc release: |
| 1110 | |
| 1111 | Support for full mouse and keyboard input into the Linux |
| 1112 | console framebuffer /dev/fb0 in -rawfb mode |
| 1113 | (i.e. non-X11) by using the Linux "uinput" driver. |
| 1114 | |
| 1115 | This enables, for example, viewing and interacting |
| 1116 | with Qt-embedded/Qtopia-Core apps on Linux-based |
| 1117 | handhelds, etc. |
| 1118 | |
| 1119 | Options: -rawfb cons, -pipeinput UINPUT More info: |
| 1120 | http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/#faq-qt-embedded |
| 1121 | |
| 1122 | Extension of the display option: -display WAIT:<disp-or-cmd> |
| 1123 | to delay x11vnc's opening of the X display |
| 1124 | until a VNC client connects (useful built-in: |
| 1125 | -display WAIT:cmd=FINDDISPLAY, to find a user's |
| 1126 | display and Xauthority data). |
| 1127 | |
| 1128 | Options -grabkbd and -grabptr have x11vnc try to grab |
| 1129 | the X display when VNC clients are connected to |
| 1130 | prevent a (non-malicious) user at the physical X |
| 1131 | display from performing keyboard or mouse input. |
| 1132 | E.g. remote help-desk support. |
| 1133 | |
| 1134 | |
| 1135 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 1136 | |
| 1137 | -allowedcmds option to fine-tune which external commands |
| 1138 | may be run by x11vnc, rather than shutting |
| 1139 | them all off with -nocmds. |
| 1140 | |
| 1141 | -env VAR=VALUE convenience option to avoid the need of |
| 1142 | setting environment variables before starting |
| 1143 | x11vnc. |
| 1144 | |
| 1145 | -allinput option to enable libvncserver handleEventsEagerly |
| 1146 | parameter (not clear it yields an improvement). |
| 1147 | |
| 1148 | -rawfb rand fun/testing option using /dev/urandom as a fb. |

| 1163 | |
| 1164 | New in the 0.8.1 x11vnc release: |
| 1165 | |
| 1166 | Improved support for webcams and tv tuners with video4linux |
| 1167 | /dev/video: see the "-rawfb video" and "-pipeinput VID" |
| 1168 | options. (the latter gives a simple keyboard control |
| 1169 | of a tv tuner; see also the -freqtab option for stations). |
| 1170 | |
| 1171 | FBPM support for hardware that provides framebuffer power |
| 1172 | management (it needs to be disabled when vnc clients |
| 1173 | are connected). |
| 1174 | |
| 1175 | The -usepw option will require x11vnc to use a password of |
| 1176 | some sort or otherwise exit immediately. Put it in |
| 1177 | your ~/.x11vncrc so you don't forget. |
| 1178 | |
| 1179 | The command "x11vnc -storepasswd" will prompt for a password |
| 1180 | without echoing and save it in ~/.vnc/passwd |
| 1181 | |
| 1182 | The X CLIPBOARD selection is managed in addition to the |
| 1183 | X PRIMARY selection. |
| 1184 | |
| 1185 | |
| 1186 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 1187 | |
| 1188 | Convenience option for accessing the Linux console: -rawfb cons |
| 1189 | etc. (requires /dev/fb0 to be working). |
| 1190 | |
| 1191 | clipboard/cut-text input can now be managed on a per-client |
| 1192 | basis. |
| 1193 | |
| 1194 | -capslock and -skip_lockkeys options can help make CapsLock work |
| 1195 | better. |
| 1196 | |
| 1197 | The Xdummy wrapper script is included in the source tree. |
| 1198 | |
| 1199 | A mode "-gone popup" as been added. |
| 1200 | |
| 1201 | -24to32 option to avoid 24bpp problems. |

| 1216 | |
| 1217 | |
| 1218 | New in the 0.8 x11vnc release: |
| 1219 | |
| 1220 | TightVNC file transfer support is enabled via the extension to |
| 1221 | LibVNCServer added by Rohit Kumar. |
| 1222 | |
| 1223 | The -passwdfile option has been enhanced to handle any number |
| 1224 | of full-access and view only passwords in an easy to |
| 1225 | maintain format, and additional features. |
| 1226 | |
| 1227 | The -8to24 option enables multi-depth viewing on systems that do |
| 1228 | not support -overlay. The 8bpp regions are transformed |
| 1229 | to depth 24 TrueColor before exporting via VNC. |
| 1230 | |
| 1231 | The x11vnc source code has gone through a major reorganization. |
| 1232 | The build has been enhanced and many bugs fixed. |
| 1233 | |
| 1234 | |
| 1235 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 1236 | |
| 1237 | -afteraccept option is like -accept however it enables running |
| 1238 | a user supplied command after client authentication |
| 1239 | has taken place. The RFB_* environment variables have |
| 1240 | been extended. |
| 1241 | -loop option will run x11vnc in an outer loop restarting each time |
| 1242 | (useful for situations where the X server restarts often). |
| 1243 | -slow_fb allows for slow polling for special purpose applications |
| 1244 | (e.g. video). -blackout noptr,WxH+X+Y,... will prevent |
| 1245 | the pointer from going into a blacked out region. |

| 1256 | x11vnc 0.7.2 2005-07-11 |
| 1257 | |
| 1258 | |
| 1259 | New in the 0.7.2 x11vnc release: |
| 1260 | |
| 1261 | The X DAMAGE extension is supported to dramatically reduce |
| 1262 | resource consumption when idle: often 20 times less; |
| 1263 | and to pick up small changed regions more quickly. |
| 1264 | |
| 1265 | DAMAGE sends events indicating damaged (modified) screen |
| 1266 | rectangles to x11vnc. These are used as hints to focus |
| 1267 | the polling and also if the rectangle is below a size |
| 1268 | threshold it is accepted unconditionally (i.e. dragged in |
| 1269 | from the framebuffer). Tuning is possible with -xd_area. |
| 1270 | |
| 1271 | DAMAGE is available on recent Xorg servers and Solaris 10. |
| 1272 | |
| 1273 | -wireframe: Heuristics are used to guess when a window is being |
| 1274 | moved or resized and during this period show only a |
| 1275 | moving wireframe outline. Just like on video cards in |
| 1276 | the 90's, remember? This is to avoid window "lurching" |
| 1277 | when you move or resize one opaquely. |
| 1278 | |
| 1279 | Also, -wirecopyrect applies the VNC CopyRect encoding |
| 1280 | for the moved window. Both are on by default, use |
| 1281 | -nowireframe or -nowirecopyrect to disable (aka -nowf |
| 1282 | and -nowcr). |
| 1283 | |
| 1284 | -scrollcopyrect: Sniff the X11 protocol via the RECORD extension |
| 1285 | and to try to detect window scrolls (e.g. via scrollbar, |
| 1286 | Up/Down arrow, etc). When detected, the VNC CopyRect |
| 1287 | encoding is applied to the scrolled regions for a speedup. |
| 1288 | |
| 1289 | The contents of the scrolling window may only be |
| 1290 | approximate while it is being scrolled: e.g. tearing, |
| 1291 | bunching-up, etc. The heuristics will also miss scrolls |
| 1292 | by certain toolkits or applications, so those will still |
| 1293 | happen the slow way. To disable use -noscrollcopyrect |
| 1294 | (aka -noscr). Tuning is also available, see the -help |
| 1295 | entry. |
| 1296 | |
| 1297 | -listen: Makes x11vnc listen only on a single network interface. |
| 1298 | -localhost now implies '-listen localhost'. |
| 1299 | |
| 1300 | -rawfb: Instead of polling an X server framebuffer, poll a raw |
| 1301 | one (i.e. a mapped file or a shm segment). E.g. for |
| 1302 | the linux framebuffer device: |
| 1303 | |
| 1304 | -rawfb map:/dev/fb0@1024x768x32 |
| 1305 | |
| 1306 | This is a bit out of x11vnc's scope but may have some |
| 1307 | interesting applications. Perhaps /dev/video? |
| 1308 | |
| 1309 | -pipeinput: Pipe the VNC user's pointer and keyboard input events |
| 1310 | to a helper program you provide. Two examples are in |
| 1311 | misc/vcinject.pl and misc/slide.pl. Primarily intended |
| 1312 | for use with -rawfb to somehow kludge-up user input, |
| 1313 | but it can also be used by itself. |
| 1314 | |
| 1315 | Improvements for the magnification scaling case (e.g. -scale 2) |
| 1316 | for use in low vision applications. It is faster and |
| 1317 | no-blending :nb now works correctly. |
| 1318 | |
| 1319 | More safety measures are taken WRT remote-control in the |
| 1320 | default mode. See the -unsafe, -safer, -privremote, |
| 1321 | and -nocmds options. |
| 1322 | |
| 1323 | The GUI has been improved, and running with the options "-gui icon" |
| 1324 | presents a small, simple gui instead of the full blown one, |
| 1325 | and "-gui tray" attempts to embed the small icon in the |
| 1326 | system tray. Use "-gui tray=setpass" to prompt for |
| 1327 | session password creation at startup. |
| 1328 | |
| 1329 | |
| 1330 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 1331 | |
| 1332 | -xkb: a simple test is performed at startup to see if it is a |
| 1333 | good idea to apply -xkb mode for the current keyboard |
| 1334 | keymapping (i.e. if keysyms like !, @, [ are otherwise |
| 1335 | unavailable). To disable use -noxkb. |
| 1336 | ISO_Level3_Shift vs. Mode_switch: Set things up in -xkb mode to |
| 1337 | prefer ISO_Level3_Shift over Mode_switch for modtweaking. |
| 1338 | No override; let me know if this causes problems. |
| 1339 | -add_keysyms is now the default, use -noadd_keysyms to disable. |
| 1340 | the added keysyms are periodically deleted. |
| 1341 | -remap DEAD: shorthand for mapping many "dead" keysyms to their |
| 1342 | "un-dead" counterparts, e.g. grave -> dead_grave. For |
| 1343 | some VNC viewers that are unable to send the dead keysym. |
| 1344 | -skip_dups: skip impossible duplicate key events sent by some VNC |
| 1345 | viewers. -noskip_dups to disable (currently off by default). |
| 1346 | -sloppy_keys: try to handle sloppy keyboarding (esp. between |
| 1347 | different language keyboards) where, say, Shift is released |
| 1348 | before the key. |
| 1349 | -norepeat N: ping-pong N times if something else on the desktop |
| 1350 | restores key autorepeating (e.g. session startup). Default |
| 1351 | 2. Also, If the VNC client is idle for 5 min. autorepeat |
| 1352 | is restored. |
| 1353 | -wait_ui: If there is very recent user input, cut the -wait sleep |
| 1354 | time by the specified factor (default 2.0). |
| 1355 | -nowait_bog: Detection is now in place to watch for polling "bogging |
| 1356 | down" (e.g. lots of scrolling text from a long build in a |
| 1357 | terminal) and to sleep more. Use -nowait_bog to disable. |
| 1358 | -flag: write PORT=5900 to a flag file to aid wrapper scripts. |
| 1359 | -http: try to guess what the -httpdir should be and if found |
| 1360 | enable http listening. |
| 1361 | -clip WxH+X+Y: only show the specified rectangle not the |
| 1362 | entire screen. |
| 1363 | cursors are now scaled by default under -scale, use -scale_cursor |
| 1364 | to modify this behavior. |
| 1365 | -arrow n: select from some different arrow cursors (ignored under |
| 1366 | XFIXES cursor grabbing mode). |
| 1367 | -nolookup: disable DNS lookups for broken environments. |
| 1368 | -seldir: fine tune and debug selection transfer. |
| 1369 | build-time customization macros: SHARED, FOREVER, NOREPEAT, |
| 1370 | REMOTE_CONTROL, SMALL_FOOTPRINT, default passwd, etc. |
| 1371 | see the top of the x11vnc.c for more info. |
| 1372 | -xtrap: DEC-XTRAP extension is supported for legacy systems |
| 1373 | with insufficient XTEST extension (X11R5). |
| 1374 | -shiftcmap: for legacy systems with non-standard colormap values. |
| 1375 | -noxrecord: do not use the RECORD extension for anything (currently |
| 1376 | only -scrollcopyrect and grabserver watching use it). |
| 1377 | -grab_buster: fork a helper thread to watch for XGrabServer deadlock |
| 1378 | in x11vnc and break the grab. Under -scrollcopyrect there |
| 1379 | is a small window where x11vnc is vulnerable to this deadlock. |
| 1380 | -dbg: A "crash shell" with tips on debugging will be presented |
| 1381 | instead of exiting when a fatal error occurs. |
| 1382 | -fixscreen: periodically refresh the screen to get rid of painting |
| 1383 | errors, etc. induced by new features, jpeg compression, etc. |
| 1384 | -speeds: Tell x11vnc what the network and fb speeds are instead of |
| 1385 | having it try to measure them. (these speeds are used by |
| 1386 | various features, such as -wireframe, -scrollcopyrect, etc.). |
| 1387 | -wmdt: set the window manager or desktop to spare x11vnc from guessing. |
| 1388 | -readtimeout: set libvncserver's read timeout parameter, useful on |
| 1389 | very slow links that take more than 20secs to paint |
| 1390 | the whole screen. |
| 1391 | -nopw: If you use x11vnc without a password it now prints out a |
| 1392 | scary warning message. Use -nopw to disable the warning. |
| 1393 | plugged X event leaks; periodically purge any remaining buildup. |

| 1405 | x11vnc 0.7.1 2005-02-24 |
| 1406 | |
| 1407 | |
| 1408 | New in the 0.7.1 x11vnc release: |
| 1409 | |
| 1410 | Improved algorithm for approximating XFIXES cursors with |
| 1411 | transparency (alpha channel). No more ugly black fuzz |
| 1412 | around translucent cursors. Tuning parameters -alpha* |
| 1413 | if it is still not right. |
| 1414 | |
| 1415 | Added mechanisms to handle XFIXES cursors with transparency |
| 1416 | exactly (i.e. blend in the background). Works by default |
| 1417 | under -nocursorshape updates, and also works under limited |
| 1418 | circumstances for cursorshape updates if the VNC viewer |
| 1419 | is patched (TightVNC viewer patch provided). |
| 1420 | |
| 1421 | -solid: to improve performance switch the background to a solid |
| 1422 | color when clients are connected. Works on GNOME, KDE, |
| 1423 | CDE, and classic X. |
| 1424 | |
| 1425 | -input: allows fine-tuning the type of allowed user input |
| 1426 | (Keystroke, Mouse-motion, Button-click). Useful for |
| 1427 | certain applications of x11vnc, e.g. demos. Also |
| 1428 | per-client settings via -R input:xyz.. |
| 1429 | |
| 1430 | -users: enables switching to different users if started as root. |
| 1431 | Please read the description for details. |
| 1432 | |
| 1433 | -gui ez: less daunting GUI with fewer options via '-gui ez' or |
| 1434 | "Misc -> simple-gui" once started. |
| 1435 | |
| 1436 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 1437 | |
| 1438 | -nap is now the default, use -nonap to disable. |
| 1439 | -snapfb: snapshot h/w fb to RAM periodically, not clear how useful... |
| 1440 | -timeout n: for use in certain applications, exit if no client |
| 1441 | connects after n seconds. |
| 1442 | -oa and -logappend for appending to logfiles. |
| 1443 | -opts will just show the options w/o the long -help descriptions. |
| 1444 | if you forget to set -display, it will beep and try :0 after a bit. |

| 1455 | x11vnc 0.7 2004-12-23 |
| 1456 | |
| 1457 | |
| 1458 | New in the 0.7 x11vnc release: |
| 1459 | |
| 1460 | Support for the XFIXES X extension to show the exact mouse cursor |
| 1461 | shape. Requires libXfixes. For approximate cursor |
| 1462 | shapes also see: -cursor (none|arrow|X|some|most) |
| 1463 | |
| 1464 | -remote/-R: remote-control support: nearly every setting can be |
| 1465 | changed dynamically without restarting x11vnc. For |
| 1466 | example, "x11vnc -R shared", and "x11vnc -R scale:3/4" |
| 1467 | will connect to a running x11vnc server to make it shared |
| 1468 | and re-scaled, respectively. |
| 1469 | |
| 1470 | -gui: launches a simple tcl/tk GUI based on the remote control |
| 1471 | function. Requires the tcl/tk "wish" program. |
| 1472 | |
| 1473 | -overlay: support for overlay/multi-depth (e.g. 24+8) visuals |
| 1474 | on Solaris (SUN_OVL extension) and IRIX. |
| 1475 | |
| 1476 | -xrandr: support for the XRANDR (X Resize, Rotate and Reflection) |
| 1477 | extension: if the screen changes size or rotates x11vnc |
| 1478 | creates a new framebuffer to match it. Useful to have a VNC |
| 1479 | Viewer that supports NewFBSize extension. (also -padgeom) |
| 1480 | |
| 1481 | -pointer_mode: Experimental pointer input handling schemes, |
| 1482 | e.g.: "-pointer_mode 3" (similar to -nodragging) |
| 1483 | |
| 1484 | man page x11vnc.1 and README files created. |
| 1485 | |
| 1486 | miscellaneous new features and changes: |
| 1487 | |
| 1488 | -sb: set screen blank idle timeout |
| 1489 | -nocursorshape: disable cursor shape VNC extension. |
| 1490 | RFB_MODE = "accept" or "gone" passed to -accept/-gone commands. |
| 1491 | -vncconnect is now the default. |
| 1492 | -norepeat is now the default. |
| 1493 | "-id pick" to pick a window via xwininfo for the -id option. |
| 1494 | -sid option: like -id but crops root window instead. |
| 1495 | Related to remote-control: -query, -noremote, -sync, |
| 1496 | -deny_all, -safer, -unsafe. |

| 1509 | |
| 1510 | New in the 0.6.2 x11vnc release: |
| 1511 | |
| 1512 | -scale option for server side scaling (e.g. -scale 2/3). |
| 1513 | |
| 1514 | -storepasswd option to create VNC password files. |
| 1515 | |
| 1516 | ~/.x11vncrc simple config file support. |
| 1517 | |
| 1518 | -cursorpos now the default (send cursor position updates to clients |
| 1519 | that understand them, disable with -nocursorpos) |
| 1520 | |
| 1521 | more connection info sent to the -accept and -gone commands. |
| 1522 | |
| 1523 | new keyboard related features: |
| 1524 | |
| 1525 | -modtweak is now the default (it automatically adjusts the modifier |
| 1526 | keys state to send a Keysym properly, disable -nomodtweak) |
| 1527 | this works around "ghost" keys like "< >" in XFree86. |
| 1528 | |
| 1529 | -xkb option to use XKEYBOARD extension for modtweak-ing to further |
| 1530 | improve the accuracy of sending Keysyms between different |
| 1531 | language keyboards. |
| 1532 | |
| 1533 | -skip_keycodes and -add_keysyms options to fine tune stubborn |
| 1534 | keyboard differences. |
| 1535 | |
| 1536 | -norepeat option to turn off X server key autorepeat when clients |
| 1537 | are connected (works around the repeated characters problem) |
| 1538 | |
| 1539 | -clear_mods and -clear_keys to send key release events at |
| 1540 | startup and exit. |
| 1541 | |
| 1542 | removed options: |
| 1543 | |
| 1544 | -hints/-nohints: we now always use hints. |
