Download x11vnc 0.9.5

The program x11vnc merges two widely used systems, namely x11 and vnc. X11 is a platform with which a graphical operation can be used on different operating systems. The platform consists of a server, the X Window server, which manages the screen and so-called clients that connect to the X server and pass on what should be shown on the screen. Vnc is used to be able to control computers remotely through which mouse movements, keystrokes and the screen layout are exchanged over the network. The x11vnc program can be installed as an X Window server on the computer, after which it can be addressed via vnc. The developer released version 0.9.5 a few days ago with the following list of changes:

New in the 0.9.5 x11vnc release:

• Symmetric key encryption using the RC4, AES, Blowfish, and 3DES ciphers is supported via the -enc cipher:keyfile option. The SSVNC unix viewer 1.0.20 and later supports these encryption methods.
• Server-side scaling can now have different scale factors along the horizontal and vertical axes. Eg -scale 1280×1024 (same as -geometry 1280×1024) or -scale 0.8×0.75
• The -chatwindow option allows a chat window to appear on the X console during UltraVNC chats (requires the SSVNC viewer package.)

Miscellaneous new features and changes:

• The HTTP Java viewer applet jar, classes/VncViewer.jar, has been updated with an improved implementation based on the code used by the classes/ssl applets.
• A description and instructions are now printed out when X_ShmAttach fails if one tries to attach to a remote $DISPLAY (ie $DISPLAY is on a different machine from the machine x11vnc is running on; this often happens with SSH X redirection, X terminal servers, etc).
• The -allow option now works correctly in -ssl mode.
• The -remap option now works on the MacOSX console.
