n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

Anyway to use the n810 as a touchpad for pc? Not to view the screen but to control the cursor. Just like you would on a laptop touchpad.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

rdesktop should do the trick.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

Better yet, you can use VNCviewer. But it wont really act as a touchpad to drag the mouse like you would on a real touchpad, in vnc you point and click on the screen.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

synergy is made for this.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

Why would vnc be better? Vnc is slower and doesnt display the whole screen! You spend the whole time moving the scroll bars!

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

what i wanted would be what you'd get on a real touchpad. not 1:1 on the screen, but move left, cursor would go left. tap the screen and it'll left click. that sorta thing.

doesn't seem to be anything that'll do that.

There used to be exactly this app back then in2007. it had both a keyboard and touchpad support. I forgot the name of the app. But havent seen it after os 2008

How about logmein

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

I'm also interested by a such program !

how to do this ?

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

What OS are you running on your PC? It matters.

For example, you're not allowed to log in 2 times on Windows XP. On Windows NT 5.2 you can attach to a session with Rdesktop.

You could try VNC with heavy compression (against the lag) e.g. over SSH.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

Remoko would be nice but I would like it to have media controls like the iphone application.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

Well there are a set of media control options (if you look at the link in the description of the youtube video). To send signals like play, pause, etc..

Then there's always irreco over telnet for control of VLC, Winamp, and Foobar2000.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

I'm running linux Ubuntu !

via irreco it's not a mouse control..

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

Yeah, but jackdoor was asking about media controls (I think he/she meant play, pause, stop, etc..)

Unless he/she meant actually being able to control what media was being played or what not? If so, something like Sonata + MPD would work better for Linux at least. But that still isn't mouse control.

Hi,

here is a video demonstration of n810 acting like a touchpad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pEoaCVgygg

In the next week I will release the first version of the application:).

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc

I think I saw a beta from the maemo pages but I couldn't install it since it needed java.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

BlueMaemo is written in Python and C, no Java needed.
I have the beta version completed, but I'm having some troubles figure the best way to distribute the package, because it need root privileges (open reserved bluetooth sockets),if anybody have some suggestion I appreciate :D

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

In your package. create a file called:
/etc/sudoers.d/bluemaemo.sudoers

Put this in the file:
user ALL = NOPASSWD: <program you want to be able to execute as root - FULL PATH MUST BE SPECIFIED>

In the postinst, put:
update-sudoers || true

Then where you need to run the program as root, just specify sudo <program> to start the program.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

Ah must be another program I'm thinking about then.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

Hi,

the app was released, announcement here : http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=24396

The app is only tested by me, so should have a lot of bugs yet :D

Best regards.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

This is what i initially did for switchonbt script, a better way would be to use d-bus commands.
Let me know if I can be of help.

Re: n810 as a touchpad for pc
 

Thanks Vabgeo, I want this for other propose (open reserved sockets), for the BT switch on and off I already have the d-bus commands.
