X11vnc allows one to view remotely and interact with real X displays (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse) with any VNC viewer. It has built-in SSL encryption and authentication, UNIX account and password support, server-side scaling, single port HTTPS and VNC, mDNS service advertising, and TightVNC and UltraVNC file-transfer.

As of Mint 22.2 the core "remote access" functionality still works, but there's no way to pull the window back up with the tray icon. Project seems to no longer be maintained: https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc/issues/186.

It works in all 20.x versions and it is the only one that enables VNC Connection before log-in.https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=369092

Worked great on Linux Mint 17 xfce. I got it to start at boot with directions from http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/X11vnc. Now it's a real working office machine.

After long search this works with Linux Mint 16 MATE desktop - but needed to run from command line (menu program refused to start because another process is maybe running (and it was not...)).

Works well for multi-head displays. In Mint 11 had issues launching it from the menu, but worked ok from command line like so: x11vnc -gui tray -rfbport PROMPT -bg -o %%HOME/.x11vnc.log.%%VNCDISPLAY
