With other words can you see the server screen and navigate with through the touchscreen?

I wonder also why there is so less interest to get this thing work.
It will be great to use the 770 as remote, like for example a music browser.
Yes, the VNC client shows my WinXP PC desktop (running the UltraVNC server). You can use the stylus as a remote mouse to manipulate the XP desktop.

Problems:

- You can't resize, zoom, or fullsize the display (but you do get slider bars so you can scroll around to see different parts of the desktop).

- No keyboard support. I'm hoping to get a USB keyboard running and will report back whether this works with the VNC client.

PS: if Vidar, the dev who did the VNC port, is lurking, or someone knows how to contact him: he needs to update his email address on his website (http://vidar.gimp.org/n770.phpx).
