Log Message:
Update x11vnc to 0.9.7.
Pkgsrc changes:
* add avahi option (disabled by default).
Notes:
New in the 0.9.7 x11vnc release:
Basic support for building with VirtualGL's TurboVNC (an
enhanced TightVNC for fast LAN high framerate usage)
encoding and TightVNC modifications. More info:
http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/faq.html#faq-turbovnc
and x11vnc/misc/turbovnc/README.
The -ncache_cr option has been fixed and so in -ncache mode
smooth opaque window motions are now work correctly. Try
it out to see how smooth it is even on a slow link.
Support for Linux text consoles (virtual terminals, e.g. 1-6)
is provided via, e.g., 'x11vnc -rawfb vt2' (for virtual
terminal #2).
This is like LinuxVNC (i.e. text only), it avoids using
/dev/fb and uses /dev/vcsaN instead (the '-rawfb console'
mode uses /dev/fb.) With /dev/vcsaN the text terminal
is accessible even it if is not the currently active one.
The -rawfb option now supports framebuffers with bits per pixel
less than 8 (e.g. 4 or 1 bpp.)
Reverse connections now work in Anonymous Diffie Hellman SSL/TLS
mode. Reverse connections also work for VeNCrypt and
ANONTLS modes.
miscellaneous new features and changes:
The included SSL enabled UltraVNC java viewer now has a
configurable [Home] entry in the drives drop down menu.
In the -create, -svc, etc. modes one can now specify a
range of X displays to ignore in X11VNC_SKIP_DISPLAY.
Improvements and bugfixes were made to the find_display
and create_display scripts. FD_EXTRA option is provided.
The '-rawfb video' option finds the video device file more
carefully.
The -rmflag option allows a new way to indicate to other
applications that x11vnc has started.
All of the java applet parameters are now documented in
the classes/ssl/README file.
There is now a "sendbell" remote control command.
A one-time -padgeom once:WxH mode is added.
Improvements to the CUPS Terminal Services helper mode.
If the X display cannot be opened normally then the env. var.
XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME=localhost is tried.
Bugfix for selection transfer to a now non-existent X window
(Thunderbird can cause this.) Related, the env. variable
LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK is now set by default.
Bugfix for -8to24 mode due to nonstandard indexed color support.
The libvncserver and x11vnc autoconf/automake settings have
been improved.
libXrandr include file is now found on Solaris.
