1 x11vnc allows to view remotely and interact with real X displays
2 (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse)
3 with any VNC viewer.
4 In this way it plays the role for Unix/X11 that WinVNC plays for Windows.
6 It has built-in SSL/TLS encryption and 2048 bit RSA authentication,
7 including VeNCrypt support; UNIX account and password login support;
8 server-side scaling; single port HTTPS/HTTP+VNC; Zeroconf service advertising;
9 and TightVNC and UltraVNC file-transfer.
10 It has also been extended to work with non-X devices:
11 natively on Mac OS X Aqua/Quartz, webcams and TV tuner capture devices,
12 and embedded Linux systems such as Qtopia Core.
13 Full IPv6 support is provided.
15 It also provides an encrypted Terminal Services mode (-create, -svc, or -xdmsvc options)
16 based on Unix usernames and Unix passwords where the user does not need to memorize
17 his VNC display/port number.
18 Normally a virtual X session (Xvfb) is created for each user, but it also works with
19 X sessions on physical hardware. See the tsvnc terminal services mode of the SSVNC viewer
20 for one way to take advantage of this mode.
