NAME
x2vnc - a dual-screen hack
SYNOPSIS
x2vnc [ -display display ] [ -shared ] [ -resurface ]
[ -north ] [ -south ] [ -east ] [ -west ]
[ -passwdfile passwd-file ] [ -edgewidth width ]
[ -nowheel ] [ -reversewheel ] host:0
DESCRIPTION
x2vnc will let you use two screens on two different computers as if they were connected to the same computer. The computer with the 'main' keboard must be running X-window, and the second computer should have a VNC server running which will update the contents on the actual screen. This means Xvnc is not suitable, but WinVNC is.
For up-to-date information on x2vnc, see the x2vnc home page: http://fredrik.hubbe.net/x2vnc.html
- -display display
-
The X windows display to connect from.
- -north, -south, -east, -west,
-
Determine which edge leads to the other screen.
- -passwdfile password-file
-
With this option you can start x2vnc without entering a password. The file is created by vncpasswd which comes with the X-windows VNC software. If the file does not exist, x2vnc will ask for a password and create the file.
- -resurface
-
This option will cause the trigger window to re-surface automatically if it is covered up by another window.
- -edgewidth
-
This is a workaround for some X servers which do not allow the mouse to go all the way to the edge of the screen. By setting this to 2 or greater, the mouse will be able to reach the x2vnc window and thus warp to the windows machine. The default value is 1.
- -nowheel
-
Disable mouse wheel emulation. Without this option your wheel will work like arrow up/down, with this option x2vnc will send them as mouse-button 4/5.
- -reversewheel
-
Invert the up/down direction of the mouse wheel emulation.
BUGS
Alt-Gr does not work.
