Looking Glass Client
This is the Looking Glass client application that is designed to work in tandem with the Looking Glass Host application
Building the Application
Build Dependencies
- binutils-dev
- cmake
- fonts-freefont-ttf
- libsdl2-dev
- libsdl2-ttf-dev
- libspice-protocol-dev
- libfontconfig1-dev
- libx11-dev
- nettle-dev
Debian (and maybe Ubuntu)
apt-get install binutils-dev cmake fonts-freefont-ttf libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libspice-protocol-dev libfontconfig1-dev libx11-dev nettle-dev
Building
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
Should this all go well you should be left with the file looking-glass-client
Usage Tips
Key Bindings
By default Looking Glass uses the Scroll Lock key as the escape key for commands as well as the input capture mode toggle, this can be changed using the -m switch if you desire a different key.
Below are a list of current key bindings:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| ScrLk | Toggle cursor screen capture |
| ScrLk+F | Full Screen toggle |
| ScrLk+I | Spice keyboard & mouse enable toggle |
| ScrLk+N | Toggle night vision mode (EGL renderer only!) |
Setting options via command line arguments
The syntax is simple: module:name=value, for example:
./looking-glass-host win:fullScreen=yes egl:nvGain=1
Setting options via configuration files
By default the application will look for and load the config files in the following locations
- /etc/looking-glass-client.ini
- ~/.looking-glass-client.ini
The format of this file is the commonly known INI format, for example:
[win]
fullScreen=yes
[egl]
nvGain=1
Command line arguments will override any options loaded from the config files.
