The above fix (my previous post in this thread) for the non-functional shift-key is not working for me in PHATSlacko 5.5.02 (though it did work in lupu528.)

I'm wondering if the /usr/X11R7/bin/x11vnc-gui file is being over-ridden somewhere in this version of Puppy?

Thanks. I got the package installed no problem. The viewer has a menu entry and seems to work fine.

I've been trying to locate the documentation to configure the server and have had no luck. Is there a config file, or do I need to do all the configuration from the command line?

Adding the nomodtweak flag to the /usr/X11R7/bin/x11vnc-gui file did not fix the inoperable vnc client shift key for me, but adding it to line two of the root/Startup/Start-x11vnc file worked.

I am using Lupu528 with x11vnc server, and RealVNC viewer on a Windows pc. I added "PERMIT" to the firewall for port 5900/tcp. All works fine! But it was handy using teamviewer to keep a parallel connection open whilst fault-finding and restartng the vnc server over and over.
Hope this helps.

Where did the x11vnc pet go? It's no longer listed up there.

I tried getting the latest from my packagemanger, and it was more complicated than just running this one, did not provide a way tell it to run at startup, and failed at first and only worked after it opened a GUI that then launched a terminal window.

I want that pet. It just works.

Edit: I tried getting it through archive.org. They have the forum, but not the file. And although it says the page is available on the web, I am told the attachment was removed.

Seeing as this whole thing hasn't been edited in a long time, I find that odd. Did something break and anything that has two attachments now only have one?

Hi,

i guess you mean this one:

x11vnc_server-0.9.14.pet 2MB

I updated the package to the current x11vnc server 0.9.14.

Have fun.

Yes. That's the file I wanted. Thanks so much!

Thanks for updating it, too That fixed a keyboard problem I had in the previous versions, where I had to use a weird workaround to input certain characters.

Only downside right now is that it seems to make my UltraVNC viewer (on Windows 7) hang and stop responding after a while. I had to download RealVNC to finish this post.

Edit: tweaking some settings seems to have fixed the issue. I just told it to use the compression method it thought was best.

I installed x11vnc_server-0.9.14.pet in Slacko 6.3.0 and it did not work.. I was able to get to work by also intalling x11vnc-0.9.14-i486-1gv.txz from the PPM. Install the .pet first, then install the x11vnc-0.9.14-i486-1gv.txz. The network menu will show "vnc-server" and "x11vnc-server". Only "vnc-server" works. You can delete the "x11vnc-server" entry by deleting the file /usr/share/applications/x11vnc-server.desktop.
