3x0vncserver \- VNC server which continuously polls an X display
4.SH SYNOPSIS
5.B x0vncserver
6[\fIparameters\fP]
7.SH DESCRIPTION
8.B x0vncserver
9is a VNC server which continuously polls any X display, allowing it to be
10controlled via VNC. How usable it will be depends a lot on the machine it's
11running on, and what you're expecting. It won't be as fast as Xvnc or a native
12X server with VNC support compiled in, but in many cases it is the best option
13since it is just an ordinary X application requiring no special installation.
14
15It has many of the same parameters as Xvnc. Running \fBx0vncserver -h\fP will
16give a list of parameters with descriptions. Note that you need to explicitly
17specify an appropriate password file using the PasswordFile parameter.
