5965N/A The open source TigerVNC release is built using the Xorg server sources
4537N/A to provide the X server portion of the sources for Xvnc. This provides
163N/A an Xvnc that includes the same features as Sun's Xorg, including Sun
5965N/A enhancements like Trusted Extensions support & Xserver DTrace probes.
7310N/A 1. Please provide a brief description of the feature and how it is used.
5680N/A VNC provides a remote desktop session viewing protocol (RFB protocol).
163N/A RFB clients, better known as VNC viewers, are available for most
5999N/A platforms, in both open source and commercial flavors. The Vino
5999N/A project in JDS (LSARC 2006/371) already delivers in Solaris a VNC server
5999N/A that can capture the display from a running session on a normal X server.
163N/A This project delivers Xvnc, an X server that displays to a Remote Frame
2283N/A Buffer (RFB) protocol client over the network, without requiring an
2283N/A existing X server session displayed on local video hardware. It also
163N/A delivers the TigerVNC vncviewer to connect to remote VNC servers, and
5680N/A several associated programs for managing these.
163N/A 2. Does this feature EOL any other feature or does it offer an alternative
5680N/A to another existing feature?
163N/A The vncviewer provided by this project replaces the vncviewer script
163N/A delivered by the Vino project (LSARC 2007/391) in several Nevada builds,
2283N/A but which was not yet included in any Solaris or SXDE release.
4870N/A 3. Please list any dependencies on other features.
163N/A 4. Is the feature on or off by default? What considerations need to be
163N/A The Xvnc server is off by default. Considerations before enabling are
163N/A documented in the man page and the ARC case security questionairre.
163N/A 5. Is this a platform specific feature and if so which platform?
163N/A Please provide any differences in behaviors or functionality of the
163N/A feature if it is supported on the x86 platform.
163N/A 6. Please list the minimum system requirements.
163N/A System running Solaris 10U5 or Nevada.
163N/A 7. List the things (GUI, commands, packages, binaries, configuration files,
163N/A etc.) that are introduced, removed, or have substantially changed by
163N/A this feature or project.
163N/A New package SUNWvncviewer:
163N/A 8. What major data structures have changed or have been added?
4560N/A 9. Please list any header file changes.
5795N/A 10. Are there known issues or bugs with this feature? If so, please provide
5795N/A bug Ids and any known workarounds.
1689N/A See bugster for known bugs.
1689N/A 11. How would one recognize if the new feature is working or not working?
1689N/A (Note: The engineer will provide as much information as possible at
1689N/A this time. For the latest information, please refer to the appropriate
1689N/A System Administration document.)
1689N/A Can a VNC client (such as vncviewer) connect to a VNC server (such as
4537N/A Xvnc) and see the desktop session in it?
4537N/A 12. Are there any diagnostic tools for this feature and what are they?
1689N/A Xvnc contains the same Xserver DTrace probes as the other Solaris
1689N/A X servers. No other diagnostic tools are known at this time.
1689N/A 13. Are there any unique conditions or constraints to Licensing,
1689N/A Localization, and Internationalization?
1689N/A 14. Please provide a pointer to the following:

5758N/A 16. If available, please provide a pointer to the cookbook procedures
5758N/A for installation and configuration.
