  VNC2DL
  VNC output to DisplayLink devices.
  Quentin Stafford-Fraser,  Camvine

======================================================================

This distribution is based on TightVNC, which is in turn based on the 
standard VNC source released by RealVNC Ltd and AT&T Labs Cambridge.

This software is distributed under the GNU General Public Licence as published
by the Free Software Foundation.  See the file LICENCE.TXT for the conditions
under which this software is made available.  VNC also contains code from other
sources.  See the Acknowledgements section below, and the individual files for
details of the conditions under which they are made available.


There are two programs here:

	vnc2dl - this is a VNC viewer which outputs to a DisplayLink device
	        instead of to the desktop.
	        
	vncpasswd - this program allows you to change the password used to
		    access your X VNC desktops.  It creates a password file which
		    vnc2dl might one day be able to use!

First you must have at least some parts of X installed because vnc2dl still uses some of the X build utilities.
Also, the TightVNC components require JPEG and zlib libraries installed in the system 
(e.g. under /usr/local)
You'll need the DisplayLink libdlo library installed, and this also requires a recent libusb.  

On Ubuntu 10.04, I had to do:

   sudo aptitude install xutils-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev libusb-dev

to pull in some of the dependencies.


To build everything, do:

	% xmkmf
	% make World

This should build the vncauth library which is used by each of the programs, 
then vnc2dl and vncpasswd.

libdlo library from DisplayLink, this distribution contains public domain DES software
