well, i just installed to see if it would do full screen, and right now, it does not. less useful than first imagined. vnc will do until this goes fullscreen , and is configurable for what you wish to run. Great first effort!! will test connectivity on my laptop and servers later this evening.
But, there is no reason for the AirX gui to go fullscreen, that's why I didn't put the option in. More lines of code...
VNC has nothing on X-forwarding, whether or not you run it from AirX or the terminal.

I tried connecting from my n800 running Diablo to my notebook running Xubuntu Hardy. when I run airx from the commandline, fill in the form and press 'Launch program' nothing happens and on the commandline I see:
I can ssh into my notebook, and from the notebook to the tablet though.Code:Woo /usr/bin/airx:179: DeprecationWarning: use gtk.ComboBoxEntry commanda = gtk.Combo() Wiki wiki wiki? Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. /usr/bin/X11/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user1/.Xauthority bash: Please: command not found Wahh!?
I can't imagine why it would do that... I'll look in to it asap!

Insert "any change for a gregale ITOS2006 version?" here.

My wishlist:

- a simple means of switching to a non-default ssh port ... I'm guessing that you can just add ":xxx" to the end of the host IP string but I haven't tried since I am using the default port at the moment. (Not sure about this...)

every application in your list supports fullscreen on ubuntu, but as it is windowed by a call from your software, it will not allow me to use the full screen button on anything i launch from my server....

Hi, great program, thanks!
Would you happen to have any idea why this or other X forwarding won't properly launch a java program through Firefox? I've been trying to use Party Poker's java applet to play (http://www.partypoker.com/anywhere/) and it won't load, firefox starts and then I get the loading screen for the poker applet but the game itself never starts. I've actually noticed the same with two computers (Ubuntu 8.04 laptop to Ubuntu 8.04 desktop) with "ssh -X firefox", I can't get the java applet to launch. Any ideas why this could be and what I could do to get it to work? Since the tablet doesn't do java, this would be a great way to get poker on it.

that works for software that has a menu item for View -> Fullscreen, but what about software that only supports window modes, and has no menu option?
Is there a way to send an F11 from the tablet?
thanks for the replies!
