Xviewer ?? kind of like vncviewer rebuilt?

I started o think it was about a port of Xvnc to win32. I see the use of it for my situation and I'm willing to test that. The xdmcp remark makes me beleve the xdmcp (-query and -broadcast options) will be available too. Realy nice. Now I have the impression it is vncviewer that runs on a M$Windows machine but displays on an other Xterminal. I can see the use for that but I don't think there is a wide market for it. > > 1)Looking for some people to test it out. Sorry, the one and only Xterminal we have around here (hp-envizex machine) has lost its boot server and is phased out. Replacing system: vnc with inetd configuration ;-) > 2)The login just ask for a password, we need user/password. > I don't think this is > a difficult programmer question for someone with X11 > knowledge...I realy would appriciate some help. As far as I know X11 and xdmcp, the X11 server only needs to show a picklist of xdmcp servers willing to manage and once choosen have the xdmcp machine manage the display. That's how it works for the -broadcast option. The -broadcast option asks all other machines, the -query option only asks the listed machines. Then, if -query only lists one, it default to that one, -broadcast has no default. Thus, since a M$Win machine has no X applications available, there is no need it should answer a xdmcp call. Or is this a (cygwin? kde? gnome?) project that can make a M$Win machine into a xdmcp server? > > The test run in a cmd for now(debug info in the window). > It's made for ultravnc, but it can be > used with all vnc flavors. > > I hope more uni*x users are visiting the realvnc list then to ultra :) I hope the development has not mixed different protocols or applications. I briefly describe and compare the unix protocols/applications to their m$windows equivalents. X11 server (including Xvnc): compares to the display driver or framebuffer on M$Windows machines. Xdmcp (called by -query and -broadcast optionis): compares to the login procedure on M$Windows machines. From asking the username and password until starting the windowmanager (kde, gnome etc). btw: Xdmcp is the protocol, it is implemented by various display managers like xdm, kdm (for kde), gdm (for gnome).
