Hi all,

Can we have vncserver for a frame buffer enbled LINUX kernel.

I recall by head the existing of a vnc-server that copies the framebuffer device. Try a search for 'framebuffer' at http://www.realvnc.com/swish-e/search/vnc-list (or google for it)...


(I found http://www.hexonet.de/software/x0rfbserver/ which does not show what I expected...).

That is there will be no X-Server, rather the name XVNC is specific
for XServer based systems.

Definitly not. Xvnc just stands for an X11-server with a VNC backend (and no use of display hardware). It IS an X11-server.


But in the UNIX-Source for Xvnc i came across a "Linux.cf",
in the config directory of Xvnc source directory.

1) What are these ".cf" files specific to each flavours of Linux/Unix?
2) Can we have vnc server configured for a framebuffer enabled Linux
kerenl without X-server?

I have some headless machines (no display, text-only console) that serve some vnc-sessions as described on http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp. That does nothing with the framebuffer or what ever is on the console.


3) If Xvnc stands for vncserver for Unix kind of platforms, does that
needs support of X-server, without which we can't have X-vnc on Unix
like platforms?

No, as above, Xvnc includes an X11 server. You can replace your call to an X-server on your system to use Xvnc and have that operational.


On some RedHat systems, I edited /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf to start Xvnc and not XF86. It gives a text-console and display :0 is at `vncviewer:0`. Be sure to add the vnc-specific options to the Xvnc-line. See `Xvnc --help` for a list.


Pls help me in this respect at the earliest. Thanks in advance.


With some sys-admin knowledge, the mentioned settings can be setup on HP-UX, Solaris and many other unix implementations.
