Xviewer ?? kind of like vncviewer rebuilt? (is there some special reason for?) or do you mean Xserver (aka Xvnc) on win32 that can be accessed with vncviewer?

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. [Comment] You run a standard winvncserver and a xdmcp listener on win32. The xdmcp listener gets the ip and display number of the terminal that wants to connect (selected in the xdm chooser). The xdmcp starts a local (Wintendo) 1) loginwindow (asking for the vncpasswd) 2) Xviewer with the -display -passwd in a loopback connection The use is special for some embedded terminals, running some kind of unix, but whithout existing Xviewer. Ncd(ncdware), neoware (netOS),HP... It is not always evident to compile the Xviewer for a specific terminal processor... [Comment] [Comment] [Comment] > 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.

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? [Comment] The xdmcp part is used to find the terminal that wants to connect. The first window that is pushed to the terminal is a vnclogin I ripped the code from some other project, but it ask only for a password. I want a vnclogon window that ask for a name and password..

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).
