For now you could do
Code:
ssh -X user@linuxdesktop
and launch there
Code:
rdesktop
This means you need another Linux box to run rdesktop on.

Another way would be to (compile? and) install rdesktop for and on the N900.

Copying files won't work - that's not a standard VNC feature (various VNC versions support it, but mostly in differing ways).

The square should indicate where the local cursor position is, with the pointer indicating where the remote cursor position is. The remote cursor display can lag the local cursor on slow links, but you should be able to assume it's at the local cursor position for any interaction purposes (i.e. if you click on something then it'll take action at the local cursor position, not the currently displayed remote cursor position).
BY scrolling the page while ousng down the stylus the square and cursor get misalligned. pressing the icon with the piece of paper with the pen corrects this.

Is there another way of getting files for my desktop to my n900? (without me actualy being near my desktop)

Does the N900 support any sort of FTP capability (maybe even in the mozilla browser)? If so, just set up an FTP server on your comp.

No need to compile. Take a look at Rdesktop 1.7-maemo1 here:
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=214

It will be also in Maemo Extras Devel tomorrow if not today

Hi juaalto,
it works perfectly.
I have two questions :
1) If correct the Ctrl key does the right-click: How do I multiple Ctrl-select items on Windows? If not possible, that's fine
2) Do you guys plan to implement some virtual size of desktop (say 1024x768, more....)? Not a big big deal, but super useful on some XP machines.

Anyway thank you.

PS: how to add(graphically) devel/testing on the source list, I mean what entries are necessary to fill and what values. Thanks again.

With VNC...if you try to view or watch video from the remote PC...it won't display smoothly. It's capturing frame by frame. Is there a way to watch video as it is intended on the PC??

@romanianusa : sorry i've never seen such ability on small devices...I'm not sure it is meant for such usage

@juualto: rdesktop seems to complain when trying to use ssh tunneling.
Am I wrong?
Edit: I am...It actually works but doesn't support host : port only host...so I guess I can only use the default (3389) port?
Can this (custom port support) change in some way?

Thanks

Not with VNC, no. You'd be better off looking at proper media servers if you're trying to watch video - remote control apps are usually designed for lower bandwidth connections.

I've now set up a FTP (gFTP) but the user interface needs some improvement to make it workable.
