.TH WESTON-RDP 7 "2017-12-14" "Weston @version@"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
weston-vnc \- the VNC backend for Weston
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B weston --backend=vnc-backend.so
|
|
.
|
|
.\" ***************************************************************
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The VNC backend allows to run a
|
|
.B weston
|
|
environment without the need of specific graphic hardware, or input devices. Users can interact with
|
|
.B weston
|
|
only by connecting using the remote framebuffer protocol (RFB).
|
|
|
|
The VNC backend uses Neat VNC to implement the VNC part, it acts as a VNC server
|
|
listening for incoming connections. It supports different encodings for encoding
|
|
the graphical content, depending on what is supported by the VNC client.
|
|
|
|
The VNC backend is not multi-seat aware, so if a second client connects to the
|
|
backend, the first client will be disconnected.
|
|
|
|
Note that authentication and encryption are not supported yet. Anyone with
|
|
access to the port can get control of the desktop via the VNC output, and
|
|
all data is transferred in plaintext.
|
|
|
|
.\" ***************************************************************
|
|

\fBrefresh-rate\fR=\fIrate\fR
