Xvnc Server and Vncviewer Client

This X11 windowing enhancement is new in the Developer 1/08 release.

VNC provides a remote desktop session over the Remote Frame Buffer (RFB) protocol. RFB clients, better known as VNC viewers, are available for most platforms, in both open source and commercial releases.

The Developer 1/08 release now includes Xvnc, an X server based on the open source releases from the RealVNC project and X.Org Foundation, that displays to a RFB protocol client over the network, without requiring an existing X server session displayed on local video hardware. This release also includes the RealVNC vncviewer RFB client to connect to remote VNC servers, and several associated programs for managing these.
