cursor not displaying on clipped screen

Open Pshemas opened this issue 5 years ago • 7 comments

I've noticed cursor is not showing up on the clients if I "cast" a clipped display. Is there an option that would fix it? I'm starting x11vnc with this:

x11vnc -noxdamage -viewonly -alwaysshared -shared -forever -clip 1920x1200+1600+0

Clipping is important for me as I have two displays and I want to "cast" only one of those to the clients.

Hi! Have you tried other options - do they make a difference?

which options can I try?

They're listed in the man page.

yeah, but there are like gazillion ;) options and I'm no expert - so any suggestions which options could be worthwhile would be welcome.

also - where's the man page? I've been browsing this one: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/

nocursorshape seems to work for me. Though I'm having the problem of the pointer running along the edge of the client when the cursor is outside of the clipped area. Not sure if related.

nocursorshape does work for me.
