allow VNC connections to real X11 displays version: 0.9.12, lastmod: 2010-09-09
|
-rfbport str
The VNC port to listen on (a LibVNCServer option), e.g. 5900, 5901, etc. If specified as
"-rfbport PROMPT" then the x11vnc -gui is used to prompt the user to enter the port number.
|
-rfbauth passwd-file
use authentication on RFB protocol (use 'x11vnc -storepasswd pass file' to create a password file)
|
-display disp
X11 server display to connect to, usually :0. The X server process must be running on same
machine and support MIT-SHM. Equivalent to setting the DISPLAY environment variable to disp.
See the description below of the "-display WAIT:..." extensions, where alias "-find" will find
the user's display automatically, and "-create" will create a Xvfb session if no session is found.
|
-forever
Keep listening for more connections rather than exiting as soon as the first client(s) disconnect.
Same as -many
To get the standard non-shared VNC behavior where when a new VNC client connects the existing VNC
client is dropped use: -nevershared -forever This method can also be used to guard against hung
TCP connections that do not go away.
|
-auth file
Set the X authority file to be file, equivalent to setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable to
file before startup. Same as -xauth file. See Xsecurity(7) , xauth(1) man pages for more info.
Use '-auth guess' to have x11vnc use its -findauth mechanism (described below) to try to guess the
XAUTHORITY filename and use it.
XDM/GDM/KDM: if you are running x11vnc as root and want to find the XAUTHORITY before anyone has
logged into an X session yet, use: x11vnc -env FD_XDM=1 -auth guess ... (This will also find the
XAUTHORITY if a user is already logged into the X session.) When running as root, FD_XDM=1 will
be tried if the initial -auth guess fails.
