NAME
vncserver - a wrapper to launch an X server for VNC.
SYNOPSIS
vncserver
[:display] [-geometry widthxheight] [-depth depth]
[-pixelformat rgbNNN|bgrNNN] [-name desktop-name]
[Xvnc-options...]
- vncserver -kill :display
-
- vncserver -help
-
DESCRIPTION
vncserver is a wrapper script for Xvnc, the free X server
for VNC (Virtual Network Computing). It provides all capabilities of a
standard X server, but does not connect to a display for itself.
Instead, Xvnc creates a virtual desktop you can view or control
remotely using a VNC viewer.
OPTIONS
You can add Xvnc options at the command line. They will be added
to the invocation of Xvnc without changes. The options provided by the
vncserver itself are as follows:
- :display
-
The display number to use. If omitted, the next free display number
is used.
- -geometry widthxheight
-
Set desktop width and height.
- -depth depth
-
Set the colour depth of the visual to provide, in bits per pixel. Must
be a value between 8 and 32.
- -pixelformat rgbNNN|bgrNNN
-
Set colour format for pixels representation. The viewer can do the
conversion to any other pixel format, but it is faster if the depth
and pixel format of the server is the same as the equivalent values on
the viewer display.
- -name string
-
This specifies the name of the desktop.
- -kill :display
-
Stops the session running on the specified display.
- -help
-
Prints a short usage notice to stderr.
EXAMPLES
- vncserver
-
Invokes Xvnc on the next available display and with suitable
defaults.
- vncserver :1
-
Invokes Xvnc on display :1.
- vncserver -geometry 800x600 -depth 16 :1
-
Invokes Xvnc on display :1 with desktop size of 800x600 pixels
and color depth of 16 bits per pixel.
- vncserver -kill :1
-
Shuts down Xvnc server on display :1.
