I am getting screen painting issues. Whenever I connect to my x11vnc my screen that isnt part of the -clip continually reverts back to an earlier state. It is temporary restored if I cause a repaint with my mouse or text input changes, ect. I have tried -noxdamage -xdamage -noxcomposite -xrefresh, -safer, -nocmds, -nonap, -xd_mem 0, -defer, -ncache, -ncache_cr, -noxfixes. I think I need something like -xrefresh but for windows that are not in the clip area.

(Date Time) X DAMAGE available on display, using it for polling hints.
(Date Time) To disable this behavior use: '-noxdamage'
(Date Time)
(Date Time) Most compositing window managers like 'compiz' or 'beryl'
(Date Time) cause X DAMAGE to fail, and so you may not see any screen
(Date Time) updates via VNC. Either disable 'compiz' (recommended) or
(Date Time) supply the x11vnc '-noxdamage' command line option.
(Date Time) X COMPOSITE available on display, using it for window polling.
(Date Time) To disable this behavior use: '-noxcomposite'
(Date Time)
(Date Time) Wireframing: -wireframe mode is in effect for window moves.
(Date Time) If this yields undesired behavior (poor response, painting
(Date Time) errors, etc) it may be disabled:
(Date Time) - use '-nowf' to disable wireframing completely.
(Date Time) - use '-nowcr' to disable the Copy Rectangle after the
(Date Time) moved window is released in the new position.
(Date Time) Also see the -help entry for tuning parameters.
(Date Time) You can press 3 Alt_L's (Left "Alt" key) in a row to
(Date Time) repaint the screen, also see the -fixscreen option for
(Date Time) periodic repaints.
(Date Time)
(Date Time) XFIXES available on display, resetting cursor mode
(Date Time) to: '-cursor most'.
(Date Time) to disable this behavior use: '-cursor arrow'
(Date Time) or '-noxfixes'.

(Date Time)
(Date Time) Scroll Detection: -scrollcopyrect mode is in effect to
(Date Time) use RECORD extension to try to detect scrolling windows
(Date Time) (induced by either user keystroke or mouse input).
(Date Time) If this yields undesired behavior (poor response, painting
(Date Time) errors, etc) it may be disabled via: '-noscr'
(Date Time) Also see the -help entry for tuning parameters.
(Date Time) You can press 3 Alt_L's (Left "Alt" key) in a row to

(Date Time) than 4 and 51 keysyms are mapped above 4.
(Date Time) Automatically switching to -xkb mode.
(Date Time) If this makes the key mapping worse you can
(Date Time) disable it with the "-noxkb" option.
(Date Time) Also, remember "-remap DEAD" for accenting characters.

Have you tried the x11vnc '-ncache' VNC client-side pixel caching feature yet?
The scheme stores pixel data offscreen on the VNC viewer side for faster
retrieval. It should work with any VNC viewer. Try it by running:
nvm looks like the problem is normally triggered by x11vnc, but can be triggered by other applications when x11vnc is not running. Seeing if running lightdm fixes the problem.
