Re: [Life Hack] Make Tablet work as additional PC screen

Done!

Great work guys, really impressive stuff! I'm loving the external display, and I'm hoping that others will be enjoying it as well!

YARR!

This post should make the 'news' via engadget or gizmodo. Just post a camera taken picture of your working setup and I'll submit the news tip. They love these types of hacks, especially since small usb auxiliary displays are quite fasionable right now.

The fact that the N810 is versatile enough to handle this type of function should turn more than a few heads!

This is highly significant as it opens the door of using the N810 as a graphical 'touchpad' in a laptop mod. Just what the world (and Capt'n) have been asking for! This would be great for controling the on screen cursor *and* accessing special app buttons and displaying stats in the place where the fairly dry synaptic touchpad once was! Do want!

Pictures please!

YARR!

CAAAP!!

LOL

That is all I can say. Why is this news? Just because it is going "mainstream" now? People have been doing this for EVER. I was doing this back in 2005 with a Palm T3. Its nothing special, except VNC is so freaking slow.

Anyway:

Using a combination of my method (dual cable), ZoneOS, and MaxiVista, you can get 5 independent displays. Yeah, you can have five devices all acting as monitors.

So, tablet, old PDA, friends iTouch, and two laptops. :D:D:D

Re: [Life Hack] Make Tablet work as additional PC screen

I am also getting the 'could not connect to server' message. Any ideas? As far as I can see everything is set up correctly. I'll look into general VNC trouble shooting and report back.

To answer your questions:
It's news because it's new to some... Yes... If it is now going mainstream, it implies that many don't know about it... Thus we make news of it, to inform people that it can be done...

PS. I'd *love* to see your 5 device setup!

YARR!

Happy Cappy

Re: [Life Hack] Make Tablet work as additional PC screen

Sadly, MaxiVista needs some $$$ to work.

I could do just 3 displays though... hmmmmm...

Oh, and I meant to say "VNC was so freaking slow over bluetooth serial link"

Dude, if you could do 3 displays, you'd be my new personal hero!

Re: [Life Hack] Make Tablet work as additional PC screen

Can someone help me, i'm running Vista 64
I installed the hardware driver but it says that it has to be signed and might have trouble working

and there are only 2 displays in the display settings and thus i cannot move on...

Any help?

Thank You [=
