Is there a was to simulate the delete key?

I have worked out that holding down the volume key and clicking envokes right-click, and wondered if there was something similar for delete?
none that I know of. You have to click the title bar and click keyboard->send other keys->delete
kind of tedious.

hallo cue

I tried your solution with the vnc4server

i ssh into my desktop and run
code
vnc4server -geometry 800x480

this go's ok
it creates a screen and a passwoord
serv:1
password

then i exit the ssh and type in this code on the N900
code
vncviewer --hostname=serv:1 --password=PASSWORD

it opens the vncviewer but then it tels me: could not connect to server

what am i doing wrong here

some extra info
I run a ubuntu 10.04 32bit
its a fresh install so vino is also on it
installed openssh
installed vnc4server

N900
installed vnc viewer

Hi dispie

I'm not sure why you can't connect but try enabling remote desktop from
system>preferences>remote desktop

it should work. if it still won't connect try opening vncviewer on the n900 from the app menu instead of using the terminal and input your_IP_address:1 and not the server name. Then it should ask for the password if the connection is alright.

Hi everyone!

I finally got my setup to work. I use the vncviewer on a N900 and Ubuntu 10.04 with x11vnc and the -noxdamage option as the server I want to control.

It's connecting fine (just in my Intranet for now, comming from outside would be the next step), it refreshes find, but I got one problem left, that was mentioned before.

Every letter I type in the viewer ist per default upper case (capitalized). I only manage lower case if I keep pressing shift and then the letters.

Any ideas what I could do?

Thanks

Hi!

additional Info, I played around with the x11vnc keyboard options on my ubuntu (host) system. Turning modtweak off solved the upper case problem, but then the 'blue' alternative values on the keyboard do no longer match the results.

I also use vino as a host vnc again on an ubuntu system. I also have the problem with upper case characters there, but can't tweak the host.

So I assume, that the client on the N900 is sending upper case characters!?

Anyone experiencing the samt thing or with any ideas how to solve this?

Appreciated, cheers!

turn of auto-capitalisation on the n900 settings/text input menu.

It's a general issue - there's a bug logged about it (https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/ind...d=119&atid=505) to which I've just posted a suggested fix (works for me anyway, though presumably it'll need testing on the older NITs). As Cue says, the alternative is disabling auto-capitalisation altogether.

Hi Cue!

I can't believe it was that easy. I would have never thought down that route. Well thanks a lot, for me it's solved, as I thought about switching that feature off anyway. Now I got the final reason for doing so!

Cheers

Does anyone have the same issue I have with this? It connects, however if i'm using it to view a windows pc... I just get a black screen, although the movements DO control the windows pc.

If I use it to control ubuntu, I get the desktop, but as I move things, nothing on the n900 screen moves, but does on the actual machine as if the n900 isn't refreshing.
