x2vnc - A dual-screen hack
Written by Fredrik Hübinette <hubbe@hubbe.net>
Based on ideas from x2x and code from vncviewer.
Thanks to Grant McDorman and Brad Fitzpatrick
for helping me make this program better.
This program 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 it's 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.
There are now two ways to compile x2vnc:
1) run './configure', then 'make'
2) edit Imakefile, run 'xmkmf', then 'make'
After compiling, you should su to root and type 'make install'.
The first way is recommended since it will automatically detect
what X11 extensions you have available on your system. For x2vnc
to function properly it is highly recommended that you have the
development packages for the following X11 extensions installed:
Xinerama MIT-Screensaver RANDR and XFree86-DGA
Depending on what distribution you use, you will need to install
different packages:
Ubuntu/hoary:
apt-get install x-dev libxinerama-dev libxss-dev
apt-get install libxrandr-dev libxxf86dga-dev
Debian/stable:
apt-get install x-dev xlibs-static-dev libxrandr-dev
Debian/unstable:
apt-get install x11proto-core-dev
apt-get install x11proto-xf86dga-dev x11proto-scrnsaver-dev
apt-get install libxrandr-dev libxrandr-dev
Fedora 5:
yum install xorg-x11-proto-devel
Fedora 2-4:
yum install xorg-x11-devel
