x2vnc - a dual-screen hack
x2vnc [ -display display ] [ -shared

[ -nowheel ] [ -reversewheel ] host:0
x2vnc will let you use two
screens on two different computers as if they were connected to the same
computer. The computer with the 'main' keboard must be running X-window, and
the second computer should have a VNC server running which will update
the contents on the actual screen. This means Xvnc is not suitable, but
WinVNC is.
For up-to-date information on x2vnc, see the x2vnc home page:

- -display display
- The X windows display
to connect from.
- -shared
- Allow multiple connections to the same VNC server.
- -north, -south, -east, -west,
- Determine which edge leads to the other screen.
- -passwdfile password-file
- With this option you can start x2vnc without entering
a password. The file is created by vncpasswd which comes with the X-windows
VNC software. If the file does not exist, x2vnc will ask for a password
and create the file.
- -resurface
- This option will cause the trigger window
to re-surface automatically if it is covered up by another window.
- -edgewidth
- This is a workaround for some X servers which do not allow the mouse to
go all the way to the edge of the screen. By setting this to 2 or greater,
the mouse will be able to reach the x2vnc window and thus warp to the windows
machine. The default value is 1.
- -nowheel
- Disable mouse wheel emulation. Without
this option your wheel will work like arrow up/down, with this option x2vnc
will send them as mouse-button 4/5.
- -reversewheel
- Invert the up/down direction
of the mouse wheel emulation.
Alt-Gr does not work.
