You can use vnc viewer to view your screen on windows system.

...ok - can you give a hint where to read more (using wlan) about it. App to download/install and how to connect (the presentation is in about 1hr - and I'm late ). Thanks.

Let me just elaborate what mavik60 is saying..

Install x11vnc from the repositories (not sure which one, take caution if its devel).

Install tightvnc to you're computer.

Launch x11vnc via your tablet, followed by tightvnc viewer from your computer. Ender your tablets wlan IP into tightvnc viewer and you are now viewing your N900's screen.

If you want to view your N900 desktop on your Windows PC you DO NOT use the vnc viewer package.

You have to install and run x11vnc on your N900 and then install a VNC Viewer on your Windows PC (like RealVNC).

After installing the X11VNC package to your N900, you should really start it from the Terminal's command line. The GUI launcher is just awful.


Try this command as a normal user in the terminal:

nohup x11vnc -forever&

Leave the Terminal open, but minimize it to the background. The VNC server will stay open for as long as your keep the terminal open or until you change network connections on the N900, whatever happens first.


Then open the Windows PC's VNC viewer and type in the local LAN IP address of your N900. Bang! Your in business with remote access to the N900's screen, keyboard, and touch screen via your Windows PC's monitor, keyboard and mouse.

If you like this and would like a persistent VNC server running on your N900 automatically every time you turn on the device, you can follow the instruction here:

just make sure you have a video input in your pc or monitor. TV sets almost always have one. With the cable from the original pack you will got what you want.
VNC is an option, but you have to setup first.

Is there any way to switch the backlight on via the VNC client?

In the settings manager go to (sorry, if incorrect translation on-the-fly) Screen, disable lock screen automatically .

I've tried that, but the screen still blanks out (using UltraVNC viewer)..

The only workaround I've found so far is to set the blank timeout to an hour or so using

gconftool-2 --type "int" --set "/system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout" 3600

.. but I'd prefer a neater solution
