Thanks, I was able to get it to work with windows in a moment, but I can't make it work with ubuntu.
At first the real desktop popped a window, asking for permission, when given, vnc just disappeared, so at least it tries to connect. So I turned off the ''ask for permission'' option, and vnc simply dies when the connection is attempted.
My experience with linux is very limited, so I don't know whose fault it is, or even if it is supposed to work with gnome/ubuntu at all.
Anyway great work,

1. Definitely, and it will remember more than just the last server.
2. We'll see....

1. I only tested with RealVNC's vncserver (on both Windows and Linux). Until I address the issues, I suggest using this server. It may already be installed on your Linux system (as vncserver).
2. The port is based on a very old (from 2002) port of VNC for GNOME named gnome-vnc. It only advanced to the 0.1 stage. According to an announcement from the author, the port did not support hextile encoding, so this is also true of the port I did. The encoding type can generally be configured in the settings for the particular VNC server flavor.
3. I took a look at some of the source from TightVNC, which has been updated more recently, and it looks like it might be a good fit for the underlying VNC protocol code in my port, which should address various issues that have come up.

Also, I only tested when a password is set, so I suggest that you continue to use a password.

Yes, I plan on releasing the source code, as I indicated in my original e-mail to the maemo-developers list. I'd like to clean it up a bit first.

Regarding the port to rdesktop, I examined the source code for rdesktop last weekend, and it looks like the port should be relatively straightforward. In rdesktop, the user interface is implemented separately from the underlying protocol, so it's just a matter of adding a new user interface implementation. I was thinking about working on this port myself. If I were to port rdesktop, I would start with the Qt UI implementation and convert it to GTK/maemo.

At last I have got the VNC to work between two PC, bat still no t between my 770 and the VNC server on the PC.
But the problem is just around this blocking the OS and the Firewall are setting up.

I will keep unblocking, soon I will be there.

2 -- the scaling/zoom button on the top of the 770 doesn't work?

Those are mapped to middle and right mouse button clicks currently (refer back to my original post). The viewer does not currently support scaling.

I can confirm that it works with tightvncserver and x11vnc running on Ubuntu, but connecting to vino causes it to die immediately. Kind of a bummer, but it's also not the first problem I've had with vino.

Scaling would be cool. Another (much easier) thing I'd like, though, is the option to automatically remove the scrollbars if they're not needed. It would be cool to use tightvncserver to set up a remote X display that's 800x640 so it fits exactly on the 770's screen.

But check this out: x11vnc reports an effective bandwidth of 92KB/s, which is kind of bogus for an 802.11g connection within two feet of the antenna. I wonder where the bottleneck is...the 770's CPU seems to be maxed during intense VNC refreshes, so maybe it's that and not a network throughput thing.

characters wtih accents don't work

Wonderful step forward but lacks one mayor thing. When writing through vnc onsdagen my windows xp, it won't accept æøå. It seems not to register the characters at all.

I was able successfully connect to my work computer running XP and then remote desktop into my windows 2003 server. using the onscreen keyboard. The refresh isn't specacular, but the very fact it works is awesome! Now I need to start looking into what option's I have for a VPN connection and I can keep track of issues that may come up.

Thanks for the hard work you've put in this!
