rdp2vnc also contains the patches for keyboards other than PC keyboards,
|
||||
and you can specify "-k fr" again.

<h2> Introduction </h2>
|
||||
If you don't know VNC, have a look at
|
||||
<a href=http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/>the original VNC</a> or at
|
||||
<a href=http://www.tridiavnc.com/>Tridia VNC</a>, who also have commercial
|
||||
support for it.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you know what it is, maybe you want to make your own server.
|
||||
If this is not the case, you can ignore the rest of this page an go on
|
||||
surfing the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you want to make a VNC server, that is, a server which speaks
|
||||
the RFB protocol, you can download this library from
|
||||
<a href=http://sf.net/projects/libvncserver/>sourceforge</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest server looks like this:<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
#include "rfb.h"
|
||||
|
||||
int main(int argc,char** argv)
|
||||
{
|
||||
rfbScreenInfoPtr server=rfbGetScreen(&argc,argv,400,300,8,3,4);
|
||||
server->frameBuffer=malloc(400*300*4);
|
||||
rfbInitServer(server);
|
||||
rfbRunEventLoop(server,-1,FALSE);
|
||||
return(0);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
This sample creates a 400x300 frame buffer in true colour. There are
|
||||
4 bytes per pixel, because 3 (which are only used instead of all 4) is
|
||||
such an odd number. Then the server is initialized and a blocking event
|
||||
loop is started.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Of course, this program only shows rubbish (whatever is in the frame
|
||||
buffer you malloc'd), but it proves that writing a server can be
|
||||
very easy.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For details (especially if you want to write a real server) look into the
|
||||
provided examples, pnmshow.c and example.c, and into the README. You find
|
||||
there documentation for much more complicated servers.

LibVNCServer is an adapted
|
||||
<a href=http://www.osxvnc.com/>OSXvnc-server</a> by
|
||||
<a href=mailto:mcguirk@incompleteness.net>Dan McGuirk</a>,
|
||||
which is in turn an adapted original
|
||||
<a href=http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/>Xvnc</a>.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
I use it to to drive a
|
||||
<strong>Windows Terminal Server (RDP) to RFB converter</strong> with it.
|
||||
Much work has been done to make
|
||||
<a href=http://www.rdesktop.org/>rdesktop</a>
|
||||
a good X client to Windows Terminal Services (both NT and 2000, see
|
||||
<a href=http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/>rdesktop patches</a>).
|
||||
Previous work was done by <a href=mailto:tme23@cam.ac.uk>Tim Edmonds</a>
|
||||
who has set up such a converter named
|
||||
<a href=http://www-lce.eng.cam.ac.uk/~tme23/vdesktop/>vdesktop</a>
|
||||
including a single client server and a multi client server, rdp2vnc.
|
||||
Unfortunately he used the example code from rfbcounter, which can encode only
|
||||
RRE, which is not a good compression.
