Notices

I'm pleased to announce the first version of a VNC Viewer maemo port. Some other developers have announced ports of VNC in the past, but these were strictly builds of the RealVNC vncviewer client and were not GTK/maemo software applications. As such, they lacked certain GTK/maemo amenities, the biggest being no text input methods.

This new port is a true GTK/maemo port that basically provides most of the support that one might expect from a maemo-ized VNC viewer. I'm still working on adding some features, and there certainly is room for optimizations, but I'm pretty happy with the way it has turned out so far.

It's available at http://www.aracnet.com/~alevinsn/vncviewer_0.3_arm.deb.

Here's some brief documentation:
-- Press the Select/Confirm button to turn on and off the text input method window (just like in xterm).
-- Use the Zoom out (-) button for middle mouse button clicks.
-- Use the Zoom in (+) button for right mouse button clicks.
-- Use the Cancel/Close button to send an Esc key.
-- The other hardware buttons operate similar to how they operate in xterm.
-- Turn on/off the toolbar from the View menu.
-- It is possible to double-click, but it might require a little practice/multiple attempts.

Note: this original post refers the 0.1 release of the software. Since then, I released versions 0.1.1, 0.2, and 0.3, and more information about these versions can be found in later posts to this thread. I updated the link in this post to point to the latest package.

I am the first to thank you for this. This is why i bought my 770.

Aaron, is it possible to add the following 2 functions:

1. remember last login ip
2. scaling/zoom function

You are a hero. Thanks !
(I just had to tap this on the 770 for once

Well done!

You were even able to implement the online keyboard functionality.

Thank you VERY much AaronL
Yet another reason to buy a 770 guys!!!
Anybody else is releasing anything before the end of the year?
Happy New Year!

Great work, AaronL!

Do you plan to release the source code? I want to port rdesktop, maybe I can learn a few tricks from you

Trying to use the VNC between my 770 and a PC running Widows XP Pro.
Have installed VNC on the 770.
Have installed VNC from RealVNC UK, on one of my PC.

But I can’t get the 770 and the PC to connect.

No problem when I connect my 770 to my IIS server.

VNC and IIS running on different PC.

Any suggestions?

Windows Firewall?

Thanks, but even with the Firewall off, no result.

Have just to start reading all the documentation of the VNC more carefully.
