VNC support in osx2x

9 Nov 2003

Although I’ve not really been doing much on the osx2x front, other than adding German keyboard support (with varying degrees of success), someone else has. Andrew Francis has sent in some code to support VNC targets in addition to X11 targets, which I’m currently trying to integrate (actually, I’m currently installing VNC on my FreeBSD box so I can test it). Very cool of Andrew to provide this!.

The simple osx2x window showing two connections, one on X11 and one on VNC.

Updated: Woot, as they say :) The code works, except that the shift key in VNC is handled at the client side, which is not the way we do it with X11, where the server does it, so I need to figure out a neat solution for that. But it’s cool.
