Does x11vnc support TurboVNC?
As of Feb/2009 (development tarball) there is an experimental kludge to let you build x11vnc using TurboVNC’s modified TightVNC encoding. TurboVNC is part of the VirtualGL project. It does two main things to speed up the TightVNC encoding: • It eliminates bottlenecks, overheads, wait-times in the TightVNC encoding implementation and instead only worries about sending very well (and quickly) compressed JPEG data. • A fast proprietary JPEG implemention is used (Intel IPP on x86) instead of the usual libjpeg implementation. TurboJPEG is an interface library, libturbojpeg, provided by the project that achieves this. TurboVNC works very well over LAN and evidently fast Broadband too. When using it with x11vnc in such a situation you may want to dial down the delays, e.g. “-wait 5” and “-defer 5” (or even a smaller setting) to poll and pump things out more quickly. See the instructions in “x11vnc/misc/turbovnc/README” for how to build x11vnc with TurboVNC support. You will also need to downl
