<a href=http://www.karlrunge.com>Karl Runge</a> took my first version of
|
|
|
|
|
x11vnc, which was just a proof-of-concept that the library actually is
|
|
|
|
|
usable, and turned it into a <a href=http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/>
|
|
|
|
|
fully fledged application</a>.

Tim Jansen created <a href=http://www.tjansen.de/krfb/>KRFB</a>, which is

|
|
x11vnc integrated into KDE.

Jeff Mock of <a href=http://alfa.naic.edu>the world's largest radio telescope

<i>I've been using it for about 4 months
|
|
|
|
|
on a project to build a new spectrometer for the radio telescope at
|
|
|
|
|
Arecibo. Arecibo is the largest radio telescope in the world (305m!) in
|
|
|
|
|
Puerto Rico. It has 10-times the collecting area of the second largest
|
|
|
|
|
telescope in Effelsburg (maybe near you?).

The project is an embedded linux box that boots from a compact flash
|
|
|
|
|
card. The root filesystem is only about 5MB. X wasn't reasonable
|
|
|
|
|
for such a small embedded system, but libvncserver was perfect. On
|
|
|
|
|
the console we run graphical diagnostics that write directly to the
|
|
|
|
|
frame buffer. It was a simple matter to hook this direct-framebuffer
|
|
|
|
|
application to libvncserver. This way we can easily view the
|
|
|
|
|
diagnostics for the spectrometer from the control room (or anyplace
|
|
|
|
|
else for that matter).</i>
