VNC LED state Pseudo-encoding
|
||
|
|
=============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Introduction
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document describes the Pseudo-encoding of LED state for RFB which
|
||
|
|
is the protocol used in VNC as reference link below:

|
When accessing a guest by console through VNC, there might be mismatch
|
||
|
|
between the lock keys notification LED on the computer running the VNC
|
||
|
|
client session and the current status of the lock keys on the guest
|
||
|
|
machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To solve this problem it attempts to add LED state Pseudo-encoding
|
||
|
|
extension to VNC protocol to deal with setting LED state.

Pseudo-encoding
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This Pseudo-encoding requested by client declares to server that it supports
|
||
|
|
LED state extensions to the protocol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Pseudo-encoding number for LED state defined as:

LED state Pseudo-encoding
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The LED state Pseudo-encoding describes the encoding of LED state which
|
||
|
|
consists of 3 bits, from left to right each bit represents the Caps, Num,
|
||
|
|
and Scroll lock key respectively. '1' indicates that the LED should be
|
||
|
|
on and '0' should be off.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some example encodings for it as following:
