News

+ 2003/02/09 Version 0.5 is out! Features include autoconf based configure, rpm package (YMMV), cleanup of directory structure, NEW x11vnc! ZRLE encoding! HTTP tunnelling through LibVNCServer's HTTP support! Many bug fixes! +

+ 2002/07/28 Version 0.4 is out! Biggest feature: NewFB encoding. Quite a few bugfixes also (Thanks to all!). +

+ 2001/12/14 A new version of + rdesktop+vnc is available! + (Includes support for other platforms keyboard mapping with plain rdesktop!) +

+ 2001/10/23 Added a link to my homepage at the end. +

+ 2001/10/18 I released the rdp2vnc extensions as well as + patches for general keyboard handling, working inside Xvnc and + process_text2 (the famous "font:" error) to rdesktop. Please find it on + the + download page. +

+ 2001/10/13 A snapshot of + + LibVNCServer and + + RDP2VNC + is now available. You can also download the + + diff against rdesktop-1.1.0. + rdp2vnc also contains the patches for keyboards other than PC keyboards, + and you can specify "-k fr" again. + +

Introduction

+ If you don't know VNC, have a look at + the original VNC or at + Tridia VNC, who also have commercial + support for it. + +

+ + Now that you know what it is, maybe you want to make your own server. + If this is not the case, you can ignore the rest of this page an go on + surfing the internet. + +

+ + Now that you want to make a VNC server, that is, a server which speaks + the RFB protocol, you can download this library from + sourceforge. + +

+ + The simplest server looks like this:

+ +

+#include "rfb.h"
+
+int main(int argc,char** argv)
+{
+  rfbScreenInfoPtr server=rfbGetScreen(&argc,argv,400,300,8,3,4);
+  server->frameBuffer=malloc(400*300*4);
+  rfbInitServer(server);
+  rfbRunEventLoop(server,-1,FALSE);
+  return(0);
+}
+
+
+ + This sample creates a 400x300 frame buffer in true colour. There are + 4 bytes per pixel, because 3 (which are only used instead of all 4) is + such an odd number. Then the server is initialized and a blocking event + loop is started. + +

+ Of course, this program only shows rubbish (whatever is in the frame + buffer you malloc'd), but it proves that writing a server can be + very easy. + +

+ For details (especially if you want to write a real server) look into the + provided examples, pnmshow.c and example.c, and into the README. You find + there documentation for much more complicated servers. + +

+ Serious comments, suggestions, pizzas, etc. go to + me + (delete the RuBBISH). + +

+ Here are some links: + +

+ LibVNCServer is an adapted + OSXvnc-server by + Dan McGuirk, + which is in turn an adapted original + Xvnc. +

+ I use it to to drive a +Windows Terminal Server (RDP) to RFB converter with it. + Much work has been done to make + rdesktop + a good X client to Windows Terminal Services (both NT and 2000, see + rdesktop patches). + Previous work was done by Tim Edmonds + who has set up such a converter named + vdesktop + including a single client server and a multi client server, rdp2vnc. + Unfortunately he used the example code from rfbcounter, which can encode only + RRE, which is not a good compression. +

+ If you want to know about other of my projects, look at + my homepage. +
