Fbvnc is a small VNC client for Linux framebuffer. It can be invoked as follows.
$ fbvnc host port
Without arguments, it connects to port 5900 of 127.0.0.1. Once connected, it sends keyboard and mouse inputs to the VNC server and updates the screen when necessary. The following keys are not sent to the server.
============== =================================== KEY ACTION ============== =================================== ctrl-space Stop/continue updating the screen ctrl-alt-c Exit fbvnc ============== ===================================
The zlib branch supports zlib compression.
When using fbvnc with fbpad, it is usually a good idea to list the tag in which fbvnc is run in TAGS_SAVED (the scrsnap feature), so that when switching back to the tag, its old contents are shown. Also, it is possible to disable drawing when switching from the terminal in which fbvnc is run, and to enable it when switching back (instead of using ctrl-space manually each time). To do so, execute the shell in fbpad using m-; (not the usual m-c), to enable terminal switching signals.
