The software was developed in 1996 by David Chaiken at DEC. It is currently maintained by Mikhail Gusarov.

The tool provided ideas used by x2vnc[2] and Win2vnc.[3] It is still in use to this day.[4]

The name x2x has been registered as an international trademark[5] by Triple-S GmbH of Germany for one of their software products despite the obvious prior use of the name.
