Request: RealVNC no display mode

Hello folks,

I'm exploring the possibility of a 'no display mode' connection option 
and would like to ask input from the developers on this.

The reason for all of this. I use Win2VNC extensively to control my 
laptop, Win2VNC acts as a remote keyboard/mouse using the VNC server as 
an extension cord. Occasionally I want also to use the remote display 
functionality. I don't want to have different services running for this 
as it only takes up resources.

However, due to my 2304x1024x24 desktop the VNC server eats 10 MB that I 
think is used as screenbuffer. As I'm short on memory in general I 
really could use that extra ten meg.

Apart from this, any plans to implement mirror display drivers (or just 
usage of it) for Windows in the (near) future?

Regards,
Feico.
