LibVNCServer: a library for easy implementation of a RDP/VNC server.

What is it?
-----------

VNC is a set of programs using the RFB (Remote Frame Buffer) protocol.
They
are designed to "export" a frame buffer via net (if you don't know VNC, I
suggest you read "Basics" below). It is already in wide use for
administration, but it is not that easy to program a server yourself.

...

At the same time, the program "rdesktop" (a native Linux client for the
Terminal Services of Windows servers) came to my attention. There where
even works under way to make a protocol converter "rdp2vnc" out of this.
However, my primary goal was a slow connection and rdp2vnc could only
speak RRE encoding, which is not that funny with just 5kB/s. Tim Edmonds,
the original author of rdp2vnc, suggested that I adapt it to Hextile
Encoding, which is better. I first tried that, but had no success at all
(crunchy pictures).

But to my oppinion X Window is a better consept in the long
run. Together with ssh -X it is very strong.
