A VNC server for DRM/KMS capable GNU/Linux devices.
The goal is to simply have a universally working vncserver on X, wayland and even something like your linux VT.
Currently in very early development stage.
Intel made a great thing called CCS (Color Control Surface), however that won't work with kmsvnc. Please set INTEL_DEBUG=noccs globally, ideally in /etc/systemd/system.conf.d. Manpage is at man 5 systemd-system.conf. For example:
# /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/intel-no-ccs.conf
[Manager]
DefaultEnvironment=INTEL_DEBUG=noccs
NixOS:
systemd.extraConfig = ''
DefaultEnvironment=INTEL_DEBUG=noccs
''
If you plan to use the default vaapi driver for Intel and AMD GPUs, please make sure your vaapi configuration is working.
Nvidia support is highly experimental (nvidia-legacy with drm enabled or nvidia-open). Only one X-TILED modifier is supported as of now.
- cmake
- libvncserver
- libxkbcommon
- libdrm
- libva
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
Helps are available via kmsvnc --help.
For example, kmsvnc -p 5901 -b 0.0.0.0 -4 -d /dev/dri/card2
Note that no security is currently supported.
