Sweet!

So you were able to get that Mirage Driver installed on your Vista machine?

Yes and no.

THAT mirage driver installed the display adapter in device manager, but doesn't actually do anything (again, vista 64 = poop).

(Plus I dont want to run TightVNC anyway, b/c of it not running correctly as a service on my machine.)

-==-==-=-=-=

However, I found a mirror/hooks/whatever driver for UltraVNC. Honestly tho, after using it, I don't see a speed difference. I get just the slightest lag (maybe 1 - 1.5 seconds) without it, and I don't see the improvement with it.

In any case, the setup I have works nicely for me. My need for it equals that of having a secure remote control. I think playing games over it would just be a new way for me to kill my battery faster.

I guess with my system config, I should be gearing this more towards the general population, which is why I'm gonna try workin the stuff you've found into the guide. I'm just having a slow time of it because I quit smoking yesterday and have been finding random, ever-changing ways to distract myself (the gum sure helps).

It will get done... at some point, probably soon.

Well shoot!

I just naturally assumed that if you were able to install that driver correctly that you would get similar results that I was seeing on my end with this.

And I'm like you as well, I have really no interest in playing any games from my desktop.

But you know how it is, you find something new and suddenly you feel this need to give it a few stress tests to see how far you can push the concept.

Apparently, with this added driver installed on my Windows machine, it can pretty much handle anything I throw at it now.

Sorry, that you didn't get the same experience.

I don't get it.

By lag, I mean the time between it happening on my pc and when it happens over vnc viewer. It's not sluggish or anything.

I also have killer upstream speed, so maybe thats why.

From what your saying, you're assuming mine doesn't work as well as yours.... does yours show things on the vnc viewer that you haven't done on the pc yet?

Cuz, THEN I'd be jealous...

I really wish I could show you before and after pictures in regards to that add on, driver update.

Even better, offering you a video demonstration.

Subjectively, I would say that I'm getting twice the speed.

If you think about it, having double the performance is huge!

Overall though, I would say the experience of logging into my computer after that driver update on my tablet is now about 20 times better.

It's a shame you didn't get similar results.

So how slow was it before?

I have satisfactory / "as-good-as-i-would-expect" speed right out of the gate.

I'll try to keep this simple.

If you can play Solitaire (not sure if Vista has this as a default game) in real time, like you're actually playing it on your original computer, without any graphic weirdness, then you're getting the same results I'm seeing on my end.

Actually, Solitaire has been my first test for all the VNC stuff I've been doing. It plays fine.... like, sitting at a real computer, and everything...

Now I wish I could get a 32-bit Windows to install on my PC. I wonder what 20x better than good is......

|||EDIT

OooooOh, I just tried Skitchin' on my Gens emulator over VNC... awesomeness... unfortunately, I can't seem to get it working with anything but my pc gamepad (attached to my pc, sadly), so I had to use that. Still looked pretty sweet tho.

Again, not really wanting to kill battery like that. Just wanted to see if it would work.

Not sure why I'm seeing such a huge swing in performance.

Maybe it's because my Windows machine has a standard Intel display chip with no additional drivers or graphic cards installed.

Who knows.

Anyway, I've got a couple of questions for ya.

I'm having some slight difficulty double clicking folders and files on the tablet. Is there an option I can change on my home computer to make this any easier?

In VNC Viewer, where can I delete the history IP addresses? I have a ton of them back when I didn't know what I was doing.

Lastly, is there any possible way to have VNC Viewer display a specific part of the screen upon start up? For example, like the extreme bottom left.

Thanks ahead!

Well, I'm not exactly sure about how it would come into play, but I do have an nvidia card with 512mb ram onboard and all the latest drivers and whatnot...

As far as the clicking goes, you could probably change the double-click speed setting in windows control panel > mouse (or whatever).

What I do, is just get the icon I want highlighted, and hit enter on the n810 kb.

As far as the other questions, you should refer to the documentation of whichever VNC software you are using.
