Log Message:
Update x11vnc to 0.9.4.
New in the 0.9.4 x11vnc release:
Reverse VNC connections (-connect and -connect_or_exit options)
work in the -find and -create X session FINDCREATEDISPLAY
modes.
Reverse VNC connections (either normal or using SSL) can use a
Web Proxy, a SOCKS proxy, the UltraVNC repeater proxy,
an SSH connection, or even a CGI URL to make the outgoing
connection (-proxy option). Forward connections can
use the -ssh option to set up a reachable redirection.
Support for the ZYWRLE encoding is added, this is the RealVNC ZRLE
encoding extended to do motion video and photo regions
more efficiently by way of a Wavelet based transformation.
The session finding and creating modes (-find and -create) have
been improved to be more reliable and also provide a new
desktop types (xfce) and new service redirection options.
Support for indexed colormaps (PseudoColor) with depths other
than 8 is provided (depths 1 to 16 now work).
Java viewer applet source code is provided in the x11vnc 0.9.4
tarball so now everything can be built from source.
miscellaneous new features and changes:
To unset Caps_Lock, Num_Lock and raise all keys in the X server
use -clear_all, or by remote control 'x11vnc -R clear_all'
The -autoport option gives more control over the server port
range that probes.
The -ping option can be used to help keep idle connections alive.
The -finddpy and -listdpy utilities help to debug and configure
the -find, -create, and -display WAIT:... modes.
Some automatic detection of screen resizes are handled even if
the -xrandr option is not supplied.
The -advertise_truecolor option can workaround some VNC viewer
incompatibilities with PseudoColor.
The option '-clip xinerama0' can be used to clip to the first
Xinerama sub-screen, etc.
If a fast framebuffer read rate is detected the -wait and -defer
parameters are reduced to 10 and 15 msec, respectively.
Pasting of the selection/clipboard into remote applications
(e.g. Java) is improved.
Usage with dvorak keyboards is improved. The option -macuskbd is
available on MacOSX to use the original US keyboard code.
Via a compiler option (-DENABLE_GRABLOCAL) one can use the
-grablocal n option to filter VNC client input if someone
at the console has done mouse or keyboard input n secs ago.
The -sleepin option can now sleep a random amount of time between
min and max time delays (-sleepin min-max).
