<h2> News </h2>

<strong>2003/02/19</strong> A preliminary patch for rdesktop (CVS) to make
|
|
rdp2vnc, a translator from Windows Terminal Server's protocol to VNC's protocol,
|
|
is <a href=rdesktop-cvs+vnc.diff.gz>available</a>. It needs a new version of
|
|
libvncserver; try CVS until I release 0.6.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>2003/02/09</strong> Version 0.5 is out! Features include autoconf based configure, rpm package (YMMV), cleanup of directory structure, NEW x11vnc! ZRLE encoding! HTTP tunnelling through LibVNCServer's HTTP support! Many bug fixes!
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>2002/07/28</strong> Version 0.4 is out! Biggest feature: NewFB encoding. Quite a few bugfixes also (Thanks to all!).
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>2001/12/14</strong> A new version of
|
|
<a href=http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libvncserver/rdesktop-1.1.0+vnc-0.2.tar.gz>rdesktop+vnc</a> is available!
|
|
(Includes support for other platforms keyboard mapping with plain rdesktop!)
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>2001/10/23</strong> Added a link to my homepage at the end.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>2001/10/18</strong> I released the rdp2vnc extensions as well as
|
|
patches for general keyboard handling, working inside Xvnc and
|
|
process_text2 (the famous "font:" error) to rdesktop. Please find it on
|
|
the <a href=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32584>
|
|
download page</a>.

LibVNCServer</a> and
|
|
<a href=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32584>
|

RDP2VNC</a>
|

is now available. You can also download the

diff</a> against rdesktop-1.1.0.
|

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/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.redstonesoftware.com/vnc.html>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.
