- Q-74: I am using x11vnc where my local machine has "popup/hidden
+ Q-74: Can non-X devices (e.g. a raw framebuffer) be viewed and/or
+ controlled by x11vnc?
+
+ As of Apr/2005 in the libvncserver CVS there is rudimentary support
+ for this. Two options were added: "-rawfb string" (to indicate the raw
+ framembuffer and its parameters) and "-pipeinput cmd" (to provide an
+ external program that will inject or otherwise process mouse and
+ keystroke input).
+
+ This non-X mode for x11vnc is experimental because it is so removed in
+ scope from the intended usage of the tool. No attempt is made to make
+ all of the other options consistent with non-X framebuffer polling. So
+ all of the X-related options (e.g. -add_keysyms, -xkb) are just
+ ignored or in the worst case will cause a crash. Be careful applying
+ such an option via the command line or remote control.
+
+ The format for the -rawfb string is:
+ <type>:<object>@<W>x<H>x<bpp>[:<R>/<G>/<B>][+<offset>]
+
+ Some examples:
+ -rawfb shm:210337933@800x600x32:ff/ff00/ff0000
+
+ -rawfb map:/dev/fb0@1024x768x16
+
+ -rawfb map:/tmp/Xvfb_screen0@640x480x8+3232
+
+ -rawfb file:/tmp/my.pnm@250x200x24+37
+
+ So the type can be "shm" for shared memory objects, and "map" or
+ "file" for file objects. "map" uses mmap(2) to map the file into
+ memory and is preferred over "file" (that uses the slower lseek(2)
+ access method). Only use file if map isn't working. BTW, "mmap" is an
+ alias for "map".
+
+ Also, if the string is of the form "setup:cmd" then cmd is run and the
+ first line of its output retrieved and used as the rawfb string. This
+ allows initializing the device, determining WxHxB, etc.
+
+ The object will be the numerical shared memory id for the case of shm.
+ The idea here is some other program has created this shared memory
+ segment and periodically updates it with new framebuffer data. x11vnc
+ polls the area for changes. See shmat(2) and ipcs(8) for more info.
+ The ipcs command will list current shared memory segments on the
+ system.
+
+ The object will be the path to the regular or character special file
+ for the cases of map and file. The idea here is that in the case of a
+ regular file some other program is writing/updating framebuffer image
+ data to it. In the case of a character special (e.g. /dev/fb0) it is
+ the kernel that is "updating" the framebuffer data.
+
+ In all cases x11vnc needs to be told the width, height, and number of
+ bits per pixel (bpp) of the framebuffer. This is the @WxHxB field. For
+ the case of the Linux framebuffer device, /dev/fb0, the fbset(8) may
+ be of use (but may not always be accurate for what is currently
+ viewable). In general some guessing may be required, especially for
+ the bpp.
+
+ Based on the bpp x11vnc will try to guess the red, green, and blue
+ masks (these indicate which bits correspond to each color). It if gets
+ it wrong you can specify them manually via the optional ":R/G/B"
+ field. E.g. ":0xff000/0x00ff00/0x0000ff" (this is the default for
+ 32bpp).
+
+ Finally, the framebuffer may not begin at the beginning of the memory
+ object, so use the optional "+offset" parameter to indicate where the
+ framebuffer information starts. So as an example, the Xvfb virtual
+ framebuffer has options -shmem and -fbdir for exporting its virtual
+ screen to either shm or a mapped file. The format of these is XWD and
+ so the initial header should be skipped. BTW, since XWD is not
+ strictly RGB the view will only be approximate. Of course for the case
+ of Xvfb x11vnc can poll it much better via the [353]X API, but you get
+ the idea.
+
+ By default in -rawfb mode x11vnc will actually close any X display it
+ happened to open. This is basically to shake out bugs (e.g it will
+ crash rather than mysteriously interacting with the X display). If you
+ want x11vnc to keep the X display open while polling the raw
+ framebuffer capitalize the type (i.e. "SHM:", "MAP:", or "FILE:").
+ This could be convenient for keeping the remote control channel active
+ (it uses X properties). The "-connect /path/to/file" mechanism could
+ also be used for remote control to avoid the X property channel.
+
+
+ All of the above was just for viewing the raw framebuffer. That may be
+ enough for certain applications of this feature (e.g. suppose a video
+ camera mapped its framebuffer into memory). To handle the pointer and
+ keyboard input from the viewer users the "-pipeinput cmd" option was
+ added to indicate a helper program to process the user input. The
+ input is streamed to it and looks something like this:
+ Pointer 1 205 257 0 None
+ Pointer 1 198 253 0 None
+ Pointer 1 198 253 1 ButtonPress-1
+ Pointer 1 198 253 0 ButtonRelease-1
+ Pointer 1 198 252 0 None
+ Keysym 1 1 119 w KeyPress
+ Keysym 1 0 119 w KeyRelease
+ Keysym 1 1 65288 BackSpace KeyPress
+ Keysym 1 0 65288 BackSpace KeyRelease
+ Keysym 1 1 112 p KeyPress
+ Keysym 1 0 112 p KeyRelease
+
+ Run "-pipeinput tee:/bin/cat" to get a description of the format. Note
+ that the -pipeinput option is independent of -rawfb mode and so may
+ have some other interesting uses. BTW, the "tee:" prefix means x11vnc
+ will both process the user input and pipe it to the command. The
+ default is to just pipe it to the -pipeinput command.
+
+ Note the -pipeinput helper program could actually control the raw
+ framebuffer. In the libvncserver CVS a simple example program
+ x11vnc/misc/slide.pl is provided that demonstrates a simple jpeg
+ "slideshow" application.
+
+ The -pipeinput program is run with these environment variables set:
+ X11VNC_PID, X11VNC_PROG, X11VNC_CMDLINE, X11VNC_RAWFB_STR to aid its
+ knowing what is up.
+
+ Another example provided in libvncserver CVS is a script to inject
+ keystrokes into the Linux console (e.g. the virtual consoles:
+ /dev/tty1, /dev/tty2, etc) in x11vnc/misc/vcinject.pl. It is based on
+ the vncterm/LinuxVNC.c program also in the libvncserver CVS. So to
+ view and interact with VC #2 (assuming it is the [354]active VC) one
+ can run something like:
+ x11vnc -rawfb map:/dev/fb0@1024x768x16 -pipeinput './vcinject.pl 2'
+
+ This assumes your Linux framebuffer device (/dev/fb0) is properly
+ configured. See fbset(8) and other documentation. Try
+ "file:/dev/fb0@WxHxB" as a last resort.
+
+ The above is just an example of what can be done. If you really want
+ to view and interact with the Linux console it is better to use the
+ more accurate and faster LinuxVNC program. The only advantage x11vnc
+ -rawfb might have is that it can presumably allow interaction with a
+ non-text application, e.g. one based on svgalib. For example the
+ [355]VMWare Fullscreen mode is actually viewable under -rawfb. But
+ this isn't much use until one figures out how to inject keystrokes and
+ mouse events.
+
+ The -rawfb and -pipeinput features are intended to help one creatively
+ "get out of a jam" (say on a legacy or embedded device) where X is
+ absent or doesn't work properly. Feedback and bug reports are welcome.
+ For more control and less overhead use libvncserver in your own C
+ program that passes the framebuffer to libvncserver.

+ which specifies a shmid N and framebuffer Width, Height,

+ "map:/path/to/a/file@WxHxB". If there is trouble

+
+ If string is "setup:cmd", then the command "cmd"

+
+ All user input is discarded. Most of the X11 (screen,

+ will cause this mode to crash, so please think twice
+ before setting/changing them. If you don't want x11vnc
+ to close the DISPLAY in rawfb mode, then capitalize
+ the prefix, SHM:, MAP: etc. Keeping the display open
+ enables default remote-control channel.

+-pipeinput cmd Another experimental option: it lets you supply
+ an extern command in "cmd" that x11vnc will pipe
+ all of the user input events to in a simple format.
+ In -pipeinput mode by default x11vnc will not process
+ any of the user input events. If you prefix "cmd"
+ with "tee:" it will both send them to the pipe
+ command and process them. For a description of the
+ format run "-pipeinput tee:/bin/cat". Another prefix
+ is "reopen" which means to reopen pipe if it exits.
+ Separate multiple prefixes with commas.
+
+ In combination with -rawfb one might be able to
+ do amusing things (e.g. control non-X devices).
+ To facilitate this, if -rawfb is in effect then the
+ value is stored in X11VNC_RAWFB_STR for the pipe command
+ to use if it wants. Do 'env | grep X11VNC' for more.
