We are building something similar for a training application. The clients
(there will be many) are viewing the single server. So, we are changing the
server to update without the client update request message.
Normally, the client runs a continuous loop that requests update, processes
update, then repeats. So, there are both client and server changes to your
request. The server needs to "push" updates without being requested and the
client needs to receive and process them without sending a request. Our
solution involves making the server update by assuming a full update was
requested and then just having clients process the update as they receive
them.

Subject: vnc without screen update
Hello
At our institute we are interested in a version of vnc which does NOT update
the screen on the client side.
This because we have different machines sharing the same screen. As there
are no switchboxes for unix
and window keyboards we use VNC to share mouse and keyboard.
Hence we looked in the source files of WinServer and Unix/Linux-Clients.
Here we need some help.
Who can advice us, which part to change to disable the screen update. Where
would be the right
address to get some assistance?
Actually we are trying to figure out if we better change the WinServer of
the UnixClient. Is it right, that
the client triggers the screen update, so we could stop the triggering, or
does the server automatically
send screen update upon reception of keystrokes and mouse movements?
(of course we disabled all polling and use 8bit colors only)
Help would be very appreciated!
thank you
