Summary: Remote Frame Buffer configuration/launcher tool

Description: rfbdrake is a tool to setup a client/server remote framebuffer=
=20
for virtual network computing. It use vncviewer backend at the client side=

and x0rfbserver for the server side.

This seems to be part of MDK9.2 and I'm pretty sure it was available in som=
e=20
earlier version as well. I don't know what level of compatibility the RPM=20
might give you with other RPM based distros... I can't say I've ever tried =
to=20

=20
be able to use this to run an x0rfbserver and then have vnc2swf record the=
=20
session.
