Is it possible to use x11vnc and have an accelerated opengl application without sharing the local display? I'm looking for a way to display software like matlab remotely and have it render 3d fast without sharing access with someone in the room with the computer. Can x11vnc do that?

The machine is not just headless, people do come in and use locally from the gdm console as well. If I set up xvfb or xdummy, that would use software rendering instead of the nvidia card installed on the machine. Can I get acceleration from the nvidia card and not end up sharing with people who have access to the physical keyboard and mouse? I think it might be acceptable to have a sudo script switch it into headless mode if that is a possibility. Does that clarify what I am after?
Yeah kinda. What came to mind is bumblebee, which runs a second x server for the Nvidia card. Googling around, I found this. Maybe something like it does the job for you.
Hi guys, does this project https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver have a wiki? And it’s not very clear what you get after compilation. Modules?
And after compilation you get libraries and binaries ;-)
Compiled like this:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build.
your screenshot shows the libraries named .so
examples are in their respective subdirectories
hi guys, am new here. Looking for server examples to compress complete display in the "libvncserver/examples/". Found one example, which is closer to what I am looking for in "androidvncserver.c". Wondering if there is any server example available for ubuntu desktop use-case or should I write a new one? Thank you in advance.

Hi @bk138 . Is this already valid? https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/issues/433#issuecomment-652043076 So, LibVncServer for Android works only on rooted devices?
No, it's https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/blob/master/examples/androidvncserver.c that only works on rooted devices. :-)

The library works on non-rooted devices if it's properly wired up.
i would love to integrate the very good working client in a commercial application but i don't know if there is closed commercial usage allowed with the Lizenz - or is there maybe some sort of Dual Lizenz available? Sorry for this silly question but reading all the GPL,GPLv2,GPLv3 stuff does not make it clear to me what the usage constraints are

Hi all,
This is not exactly about LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient, but about its sibling project x11vnc:
As I am spending most of my time on other open source and business projects and
(presumably) the other LibVNC members don't have time for x11vnc either (and
its original author Karl went MIA), I declare LibVNC is looking for a new
maintainer or co-maintainer for x11vnc's community version at
https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc
This post is mainly for publicising LibVNC/x11vnc#186
- so please leave your comments there :-)
