x11vnc is a program that 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. It is similar to WinVNC and is designed to be compatible with all Unix variants and depend on a very small set of standard libraries. It supports a growing number of command line options, such as -nofb for dual-headed mode with Win2VNC. It is part of the LibVNCServer project.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
x11vnc's SSL encryption is extended to support the VeNCrypt and TLS VNC security types. An increasing number of viewers support the former. Anonymous Diffie-Hellman key exchange support is provided, and Certificate Revocation Lists are implemented. The Java viewer applet is downloadable via the VNC port as well as the HTTP port. If x11vnc is not built with the Avahi Zeroconf library, an external helper program is used instead. A launcher for naive users is provided in x11vnc.desktop. The solid background color option works on the Mac OS X console.
