Writing vKVM/VNC/Remote Desktop Server using C in LINUX
-
Hi All, I am working on my college project "Virtual Keyboard Video Mouse (vKVM) Server using C on LINUX". (Probably Server will have Graphics Data available in provided memory location) I searched on Internet. It's similar to to "Virtual Networking Computing (VNC)" & "Remote Desktop". VNC uses Remote Frame Buffering (RFB) Protocol for it. I studied "LibVNCServer" but couldn't use it. Please suggest me how to approach for this project? How should I start writing code for it? Initial requirement of project is Basic Server to transmit video/desktop data is also fine. Please help me for that. Thanks & Regards, Aniket A. Salunkhe

In that case you are going to have to write your own versions of the client and the server modules. I suspect that this is not a trivial task and an understanding of the existing libraries is a prerequisite. If you mean that you cannot understand these libraries then you probably need to reconsider the task you have set yourself.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

Well, for a college project it's probably easier going on without studying
VNCprotocols and libraries. I would studyTCP/IP, design a basic, very simple, protocol and implement my own client and server (they won't be light-fast, but I suppose that's not required). :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong. -- Iain Clarke

[My articles]I agree with cpallini.... if you even look at vnc, then it should just be a glance at the architecture involved, not the implementation... I've seen other articles floating around with implementations of remote control software, try looking around for those...
