Usage

Overview

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.

-shared

Allow multiple connections to the same VNC server.

-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.
