Problem with x11vnc

Hi!
Why not stably x11vnс?
Often after loading the Kiosk vnc says:
Server closed connection
-The server running as application

But half the time it takes password and gives access to the desktop. But after a short time the session is closed and no longer admits to reboot (says: Failed to connect to server, x11vnc crash?).
What could it be?

Porteus-Kiosk-3.2.0-i486
UltraVNC Viewer 1.2.0.3 (Win32)
Local network connect

Thank you for any help!

never experienced this myself and this is first bug report about x11vnc ...
can anybody confirm this?

when VNC rejects connection - do you have to reboot kiosk or just try connecting again?

do i understand correctly that VNC works for some time then vnc server crashes and you have to reboot kiosk to get it working again?

Yes, exactly.
And after manual closing session also can't connect. After reboot works 6-8 min and crash.
Http request for 192.168.1.2:5900 (kiosk IP) also nothing returns.

Opss. Now I'm have stable disconnect, but http request return "RFB 003.008" :%)

cant reproduce here however i did not test the kiosk for a long time (about 20 mins only).

please enable ssh then login to kiosk and run 'ps' to check if 'x11vnc' process is running. you may also run 'netstat -nl' to check if port 5900 is opened.

please let me know what you have found.
