Question

Here's the scenario:
vnc server - Windows XP
vnc viewer - Linux

When I connect to my vnc server, I am able to see the mouse / keyboard movement at the vnc server from my vnc viewer. For example, when I click on something at the vnc viewer, I see the same thing at the vnc server.

Is there a way to disable the mouse / keyboard movement (i.e. put the vnc server in a 'blank' mode, so that whatever I do on the vnc viewer, it will not be reflected on the server side)? I mean the easiest way would be to just turn off the monitor... but I'm not sure this can be with a laptop.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Its part of the VNC Viewer input options http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/winvncviewer.html#Input
