I don't suppose you would care to PM me the name of the program so I could give it a try (I want to try to see if X-11 forwarding would fix it)

Additionally I don't suppose changing the resolution of your host computer to 800x480 helps at all?

Alteration of the key bindings would be a more permanent solution.
Heya big daddy!

I'm running Windows XP. I'm actually using a 480x800 display with the slide rotate installed on my tablet.

The program I'm using is Scid.

Here's my current GUI set up on how it displays on my tablet.


The FICS server (kind of like a Telnet chat thingie to find other chess players or just to talk) is to the right of that screenshot which means I go left and right from one side of the computer screen to the other.

The thing is, when pressing either left or right on the D-Pad, that also sends a message to Scid to rewind and fast forward the current game moves.

Off topic:

VNC is pretty awesome for gaming! I'm sure this is probably old news to most though.

X-Com UFO Defense works pretty much perfectly.

And since VNC Viewer supports right mouse clicks, it's definitely playable.

Heck, most Dosbox games runs about 3 times faster than if you have Dosbox installed on the tablet.

I'll even go one more step on this.

I actually was playing Civilization 3 on my tablet last night. *lol*


Okay. I just lost my train of thought. Where was I?
