17.1.1. Configuring vfb

A vfb is a virtual frame buffer that is defined as a 'stanza'. The stanza represents a set of name = value options, which when integrated into the xmdomain.cfg.5 file, must be separated by commas. The vfb entry in your configuration file resembles:

vfb = [ "stanza" ]  "name1=value1, name2=value2, "

You can further configure your vfb environment by incorporating the options shown in Table 16.2:

Item Description

type

The vnc type option initiates a VNC Server session that connects to an external VNC viewer. The sdl option initiates the internal viewer.

vncdisplay

Determines the VNC display number to use (defaults to the domain ID value). The VNC server listens on port 5900 + the display number.

vnclisten

The VNC server's listening address (defaults to 127.0.0.1).

vncunused

Determines the numerical value and if non-zero, enables the VNC server to listen for the first unused port over 5900.

vncpasswd

Overrides the default password configured by Xend.

display

Enables the display for the internal viewer to use (defaults to environment variable DISPLAY).
