10This program merges the capabilities of x2x and vncviewer.
11It will allow a machine with an X display and a machine with
12a VNC server running on it's main screen to act as if they
13were two displays connected to one machine. When you move
14your mouse pointer off the screen in a direction of your
15choosing, the pointer will appear on the other screen instead.

17There are now two ways to compile x2vnc:
18
19 1) run './configure', then 'make'
20 2) edit Imakefile, run 'xmkmf', then 'make'
21
22After compiling, you should su to root and type 'make install'.
23
24The first way is recommended since it will automatically detect
25what X11 extensions you have available on your system. For x2vnc
26to function properly it is highly recommended that you have the
27development packages for the following X11 extensions installed:
28
29 Xinerama MIT-Screensaver RANDR and XFree86-DGA
30
31Depending on what distribution you use, you will need to install
32different packages:
33
34Ubuntu/hoary:
35 apt-get install x-dev libxinerama-dev libxss-dev
36 apt-get install libxrandr-dev libxxf86dga-dev
37
38Debian/stable:
39 apt-get install x-dev xlibs-static-dev libxrandr-dev
40
41Debian/unstable:
42 apt-get install x11proto-core-dev
43 apt-get install x11proto-xf86dga-dev x11proto-scrnsaver-dev
44 apt-get install libxrandr-dev libxrandr-dev
45
46Fedora 5:
47 yum install xorg-x11-proto-devel
48
49Fedora 2-4:
50 yum install xorg-x11-devel
