There is an annoying bug with x11vnc where the mouse cursor is displayed incorrectly on screen.
See here for description: https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc/issues/42

There is an upstream fix here:
https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc/commit/37c946191a0f36490531624a2d03ec1ce7c714ac.patch
I have tested this patch against x11vnc-1:0.9.14-3 and it works.

I would strongly suggest applying this as the problem is so obtrusive it prevents using x11vnc for any serious work.
This task depends upon
