Wow. . .this is certainly the most interesting/challenging thing I worked through with the tablet so far. And doing this kind of stuff is precisely why I got the tablet in the first place.
Early on in this process, Benson referred me to
this post
. Now some it it makes sense.
However, what
doesn't
is the reference to "Change the line in /usr/bin/x11vnc:" in step 1. I attempted to follow these directions, buy was stymied early on by not being able to find x11vnc through xterm. I've dowloaded it, installed it, and run it. I know it's on the nokia. But it isn't in /usr/bin (assuming that this is the /usr/bin in the root directory).
I'd like to figure out a few more things:
1) What is the purpose of the above mentioned step 1? Is it truly necessary?
2) Does it matter that I was able to establish the ssh connection without following this step?
3) Why can't I find x11vnc? Is there a way to preform an automated search for something in xterm?
4) Am I correct in assuming that x11vnc is the vnc server app for my nokia? I've already managed to connect to the nokia vnc server via my XP VNC client (on my home WLAN). I did so by setting up an SSH between the two, running x11vnc in xterm and using the tightVNC viewer on my XP box.
If I am correct in my assumption in 4), I would like to be able to locate x11vnc within xterm so I can tweak it if need be.
And thanks to everyone who's contributed to the thread. You've all been a lot of help.
