VNC viewer/server: Connect N900 to laptop
I installed vncviewer x11vnc on my n900. Now i want to controll my laptop (winXP) with it. Therefore I probably have to install a vnc server on my laptop, right? What software should I preferably use? Is there a manual, how to set-up and configure the vnc-server?
I already got an SSH connection working between N900 (openssh) and Laptop (cygwin). Does that help? |

Re: VNC viewer/server: Connect N900 to laptop
It's pretty simple to get working. Go to:
http://www.realvnc.com/support/index.html Do some reading of the documentation and FAQ for yourself. If you still have questions or problems, come back here and use the search function. If you still have questions or problems, than ask a more specific question or give details of your problem. |

for that, get a vnc-server like tightvnc or realvnc, install it on your laptop, set up a password, and add the tablet to the list of allowed hosts (plenty of documentation for that available on the net). then you fire up vncviewer on the tablet and connect to <your_laptops_ip>:0 (f.ex. 192.168.1.100:0) ":0" describes the screen you want to connect to, under *nix it's not uncommon to have several X Servers running, which would be adressed by :1, :2 and so on, but under windows there's usually only one, hence ":0". for the other way round (controlling / viewing your N900's desktop from your laptop), it's basically the same. you just fire up x11vnc on the tablet (the default setting is without password, and to close after one session, so you have to start x11vnc every time you want to connect, unless you set it up to start automatically, but then you also want a password, and it gets a bit more involved). then use vncviewer on your laptop to connect to <N900_ip>:0, et voilą! i use this regularly for sending SMS, works great! for all of this to work, the laptop and the tablet have to be in the same network, of course! won't work over 3G. |

the window doesn't matter, once you start x11vnc from the menu, the daemon is running (it doesn't have a gui). it will stay alive until the first session disconnects, and doesn't have a password. i find that reasonably secure, you start it from the menu right before you connect, and it's gone when you're done. @alquorsan right-click isn't supported at the moment, i'm afraid. there should be a way to solve this using X11 keymaps, but i don't know how to do it exactly yet. |

Re: VNC viewer/server: Connect N900 to laptop
Hi,
I'm using RealVNC on my laptop and when I start the server on my laptop and try connecting to it through my N900, it gets connected without asking fr any password authentication(though i hv set one) and also I get to see on black screen on the display instead of my desktop :( . Any idea what the reason for it might be ? Regards Vivek |
