Desktop Sharing
You have complex X applications running on your desktop and you would like to share the screen
with other users, what do you do? Traditionally, you will ask your co-worker to physically visit your
desk and view the screen. What about co-workers who are physically and geographically unable to
do so? Exceed 10 provides a new tool called Desktop Sharing that will help you solve the problem.
The desktop sharing feature allows an Exceed session be viewed or controlled by users from
anywhere. As the owner of an Exceed session, you just simply start the desktop sharing service and
provide an Access Code which you will share with the intended participants, and then it is all set.
Figure 8 — A screenshot of a shared Exceed session
There are two levels of participation that the owner of a session can define when initiating the desktop
sharing feature: View Only and Collaboration. Each level will give participants different degree of
control on the shared session.
Exceed Desktop Sharing instantly adds collaborative capability to any X application without changing
a single line of code!
Sun Overlay Support
Exceed is now compatible with the proprietary Sun Overlay extension (SUN_OVL). Applications
designed to utilize the Sun Overlay extension will be able to execute on machines running Exceed
10. The display will have the same quality as if it were running on a Sun platform.
13
> What’s New — Exceed 10
Xstart Multiple Workspace Support
Exceed allows users to have up to 4 workspaces when using the Native window manager.
The Workspace concept imitates the Common Desktop Environment and GNOME, and
the workspaces are closely associated with the Gnome pager.
In version 10, Exceed further extends the Workspace functionality by allowing users to directly
send the X applications to a specific workspace, or populate all workspaces with the same application
at once. Simply select an option in the Workspace Selection area and Exceed will do the rest.
Figure 9 — Configure the workspace settings
14
> What’s New — Exceed 10
Connection Auto-Close
It is a known fact that every X application takes up a minimum amount of resources on the host
even if the application is idling. In order to efficiently utilize the host resources, administrators
have to ensure the idling X applications and X sessions are purged regularly.
Exceed supports a new feature that allows administrators to terminate unused or idling Exceed
connections. Should one of the following two conditions be satisfied, the auto-close event will
be triggered:
> The connection terminates after the specified time: Specify a timeout value that indicates how
long Exceed should wait in the absence of user input (keyboard or mouse) before closing a session.
> The connection terminates when the screensaver activates: Uses the X Window screen saver
to trigger the auto-close process.
Figure 10 — Change the Auto Close settings in Xconfig
GLX 1.4 Support
Exceed 3D is the first in the PC X Server industry to fully support GLX 1.4 and be backward
compatible with GLX 1.3 and earlier. The new GLX version represents a major breakthrough
and some bold and forward looking changes to the OpenGL and 3D graphics API development.
The new versions promise higher performance and better programmability.
15
> What’s New — Exceed 10
Exceed onDemand Bundle
Exceed onDemand is a ground-breaking, server-based PC X server product that shares the same roots
as Exceed. Exceed onDemand offers the most feature-packed Thin X window product, with the most
advanced web deployment tools, and support for the most popular security protocols. An evaluation copy

Figure 11 — Free Exceed onDemand Client in Exceed and Exceed PowerSuite
Internationalization of HWM
HWM is Hummingbird’s local Motif-like window manager. It is a local X client that provides
you with a graphical interface that you can use to start and exit clients, and position and iconize
the windows on your display. Exceed 10 provides a localized version of the HWM that matches
the language used by Windows or the language used in Exceed menus and dialogs.
Improved User Directory Support
Hummingbird product setup has been greatly enhanced to simplify the management of the user
files location. User files can either be stored into each individual user directory or shared among
all users of the same machine.
16

Figure 12 — User Directory dialog during Exceed Setup
Support for Local Installation Cache
When introduced for the first time in Windows 2000, the Windows Installer technology gave
Windows application a solid foundation to build a more reliable and standard setup. In Exceed 10,
Hummingbird introduces the local installation cache technology, which allows administrators to copy
an image of the installation files locally on the user desktop. With this technology, applying product
updates or changing product setup gets a dramatic boost and suppresses the need for accessing the
original setup media during certain Windows Installer operation.
Automatic Updates after Installation
Exceed 10 setup offers two new post-installation options that will allow users to keep their product
up-to-date:
> Run Hummingbird Update after installation option will connect to the Hummingbird Web site,

Metering Client Settings User Interface
Introduced in Exceed 9.0, the metering client and the metering server are components that can be
deployed by the administrator to collect information about the desktops on which Exceed and other
Hummingbird products are deployed.
In Exceed 10, Hummingbird introduces a new graphic utility that allows administrators to quickly
change the settings of the metering client. This utility allows changing the metering server location
as well as the various connection parameters to this server.
Media Location Manager Utility
The Media Location Manager is a new utility that allows administrators to specify additional
installation sources for Exceed. Windows Installer uses these sources to perform certain operations,
such as updating the product or modifying the installed features.
In case the original product source has disappeared or needs to be relocated, administrators can
choose to add new sources from a variety of different locations:
> local directory
> network directory
> URL
