New in the 0.9.13 x11vnc release:
Improved support for non-X11 touchscreen devices (e.g. handheld or
cell phone) via Linux uinput input injection. Additional
tuning parameters are added. TSLIB touchscreen calibration
is supported. Tested on Qtmoko Neo Freerunner.
A tool, misc/uinput.pl, is provided to diagnose uinput
behavior on new devices.
The env. vars. X11VNC_UINPUT_BUS and X11VNC_UINPUT_VERSION
are available if leaving them unset does not work.
The Linux uinput non-X11 input injection can now be bypassed:
events can be directly written to the /dev/input/event
devices specified by the user (direct_abs=..., etc.)
A -pipeinput input injection helper script,
misc/qt_tslib_inject.pl is provided as a tweakable
non-builtin direct input injection method.
The list of new uinput parameters for the above two features is:
pressure, tslib_cal, touch_always, dragskip, btn_touch;
direct_rel, direct_abs, direct_btn, direct_key.
The included SSL enabled Java VNC Viewers now handle Mouse
Wheel events.
miscellaneous new features and changes:
In -reflect mode, the libvncclient connection can now have
the pixel format modified via the environment
variables X11VNC_REFLECT_bitsPerSample,
X11VNC_REFLECT_samplesPerPixel, and
X11VNC_REFLECT_bytesPerPixel
In -create mode the following environment variables are added
to fine tune the behavior: FIND_DISPLAY_NO_LSOF:
do not use lsof(1) to try to determine the Linux VT,
FIND_DISPLAY_NO_VT_FIND: do not try to determine the
Linux VT at all, X11VNC_CREATE_LC_ALL_C_OK: do not bother
undoing the setting LC_ALL=C that the create_display
script sets. The performance of the -create script
has been improved for large installations (100's of
user sessions on one machine.)
In -unixpw mode, one can now Tab from login: to Password.
An environment variable, X11VNC_SB_FACTOR, allows one to scale
the -sb screenblank sleep time from the default 2 secs.
In -rawfb mode, a bug is fixed in setting the number of bits
per pixel.
Documented that -grabkbd is no longer working with some/most
window managers (it can prevent resizing and menu posting.)
The macosx deprecated interface GetMainDevice() call is removed.
Compile with -DX11VNC_MACOSX_USE_GETMAINDEVICE if needed
for an old macosx version...
Miscellaneous code cleanup.
