VNC Server for real X Displays
x11vnc allows one to remotely view and interact with real X displays (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse) with any VNC viewer. In this way it plays the role for Unix/X11 that WinVNC plays for Windows.
For Unix, the VNC implementation includes a virtual X11 server Xvnc (usually launched via the vncserver command) that is not associated with a real display, but provides a "fake" one X11 clients (xterm, mozilla, etc.) can attach to. A remote user then connects to Xvnc via the VNC client vncviewer from anywhere on the network to view and interact with the whole virtual X11 desktop.
The VNC protocol is in most cases better suited for remote connections with low bandwidth and high latency than is the X11 protocol. Also, with no state maintained the viewing-end can crash, be rebooted, or relocated and the applications and desktop continue running. Not so with X11.

(revision 34)
- Updated to version 0.9.16 which is now part of libvncserver as in
page http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ there is sentence
x11vnc is a contributed program to the LibVNCServer project at SourceForge.net or
https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc
Changes:
* Build fixes.
* Misc. documentation fixes.
* Misc. buffer overflow and memleak fixes.
* Support for OpenSSL 1.1.0.
* Fix for Debian bug #672435.
* Added support for the X Composite Extension. For subwindow/appshare
modes this allows sharing the respective window/app when it
is partially or completely off-screen as XComposite renders
the window contents to an off-screen buffer. Before, updating
of the window contents would stop once it went even partially
off-screen.
* Added XInput 2 multi-pointer support which allows multiple clients
to view and control a single shared screen, all having their
own mouse pointers and keyboard foci. For in-depth info, read
http://edoc.hu-berlin.de/master/beier-christian-2011-07-19/PDF/beier.pdf,
especially section 5.1.
Added some support for running under Wayland via the deskshot utility
found in the misc/ subdirectory.
