-name desktop-name
Each desktop has a name which may be displayed by the viewer. It defaults to "host:display#
(username)" but you can change it with this option. It is passed in to the xstartup script via
the $VNCDESKTOP environment variable, allowing you to run a different set of applications
according to the name of the desktop.
|
-geometry widthxheight
Specify the size of the desktop to be created. Default is 1024x768. Can be specified as an array
or scalar for geometry.
|
-depth depth
Specify the pixel depth in bits of the desktop to be created. Default is 16, other possible values
are 8, 15 and 24 - anything else is likely to cause strange behaviour by applications.
|
-pixelformat format
Specify pixel format for server to use (BGRnnn or RGBnnn). The default for depth 8 is BGR233
(meaning the most significant two bits represent blue, the next three green, and the least
significant three represent red), the default for depth 16 is RGB565 and for depth 24 is RGB888.
|
-cc 3 As an alternative to the default TrueColor visual, this allows you to run an Xvnc server with a
PseudoColor visual (i.e. one which uses a colour map or palette), which can be useful for running
some old X applications which only work on such a display. Values other than 3 (PseudoColor) and
4 (TrueColor) for the -cc option may result in strange behaviour, and PseudoColor desktops must be
8 bits deep.
|
-kill :display#
This kills a VNC desktop previously started with vncserver. It does this by killing the Xvnc
process, whose process ID is stored in the file "$HOME/.vnc/host:display#.pid". It actually
ignores anything preceding a ":" in its argument. This can be useful so you can write "vncserver
-kill $DISPLAY", for example at the end of your xstartup file after a particular application
exits.
