x11vnc 0.9.8
x11vnc allows one to view remotely and interact with real X displays (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse) with any VNC viewer.
x11vnc also supports native Mac OS X Aqua/Quartz displays using the -rawfb mechanism. The mouse and keyboard input is achieved via Mac OS X API’s.
So you can use x11vnc as an alternative to OSXvnc (aka Vine Server), or Apple Remote Desktop (ARD). Perhaps there is some x11vnc feature you’d like to use on Mac OS X, etc. For a number of activities (e.g. window drags) it seems to be faster than OSXvnc.

WHAT’S NEW
Version 0.9.8:
- Better reliability for the Java Viewer applet when connecting through a Web Proxy via HTTPS. A proxy hostname and port can be specified via applet parameters. Proxy Authentication via Auth-Basic is supported. More x11vnc printout in -ssl is provided to help troubleshoot this mode and other ssl connections.
- Stability improvements to -threads mode. Running x11vnc this way is more reliable now. Threaded operation sometimes gives better interactive response and faster updates. The threaded mode now supports multiple VNC viewers using the same VNC encoding (some only on Linux or enabled at build time.) The threaded mode can also yield a performance enhancement in the many client case (e.g. class-room broadcast.) We have tested with 30 to 50 simultaneous clients
