Changes since version 1.7.1
* Fixed some bugs
Changes since version 1.6.1
* Now re-connects automatically
* New input capture method which handles odd screen sizes better
* Added -tunnel and -via for automatic SSH tunneling
* Further fixes for cut'n'paste. (Should now work with java
and on 64 bit platforms.)
* Randr support allow x2vnc to detect when the screen is rotated
Changes since version 1.6
* Added Martin Dorey's patch which fixes cut'n'paste for Java
(and other) applications.
* Fixed a bug in -navhack
Changes since version 1.5.1
* Added some patches from Grant McDorman to allow proper
cut'n'paste between x2vnc and Konsole/gnome-terminal.
* Honor $DESTDIR to make packaging easier.
* Added a workaround to make cut'n'paste work better with old
VNC servers.
* Since all new VNC servers already support wheel emulation
themseleves, x2vnc doesn't translate wheel events to arrow
up/down anymore unless -wheelhack is specified.
* Added -navhack which is similar to -wheelhack, except it
translates button 6 & 7 to Alt+Left/Right.
* Added -debug to debug key events
* Allow -edgewidth 0 to turn off edge-flipping
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
* Now traps grabkey errors, no more X errors.
* Xinerama support, allows x2vnc to work sanely on multi-head X displays.
* If stdin is not a tty, read password with fgets() instead of getpass().
This allows scripts to feed in the password.
* New arguments -noblank and -lockdelay allows you to keep screen savers
from activating while using your computers.

* Included tkx2vnc, written by David Noble
* Added hotkey functionality.
* Added Macintosh mode.
* Included a patch for -trimsel.
* Implemented -scrollines
* Implemented a grab timeout to allow xscreensaver to activate
gracefully.
* Added -desktop option.
* AltGr should now work properly.
* Fixed cut'n'paste to work with XA_PRIMARY
* Reversed mouse wheel direction (-reversewheel will get
old behaviour)
* Added an autoconf script for easier compilation on
systems where xmkmf has not been configured properly.
* Fixed -edgewidth to affect mouse pointer returns as well,
should fix some problems on Digital Unix.
Update provided by Michael Santos <mike@ethmoid.org> in PR 18526
x2vnc merges the capabilities of x2x and vncviewer. It will allow
a machine with an X display and a machine with a VNC server running
on its main screen to act as if they were two displays connected
to one machine. When you move your mouse pointer off the screen in
a direction of your choosing, the pointer will appear on the other
screen instead.
