If you are using vncviewer, then I suggest using the maemo vncviewer rather than x-forwarding vncviewer from another machine. That's gotta be terribly painful!

You need ssh, vncviewer (from extras) and tsocks (from debfarm repository) on your tablet. Set up the /etc/tsocks.conf file as I describe in this post.

Tunnel into your Ubuntu machine with SSH, and forward port 3120 with a command something like:
then use tsocks to run the tablet's vncviewer as if you were on your ubuntu machine:
I guarantee you will get a nicer experience that way. Most importantly, you will get right-click via hardware key and tap.

Thanks qole. I'll give that a try during my next play session. Using the local VNC viewer, I'd at least be able to maximize the screen on my tablet and gain a few lines of viewable resolution.

edit
Just noticed your comment on speed. Truth be told forwarding the vncviewer from my Ubuntu machine, even over 3G, is quite usable.

Thanks qole ! Could you please tell how to right click ? which hardware key ?

qole | # 24 | 2009-03-18, 17:09 | Report

On the N800, you hold down the + key on the top of the tablet (to the right of the fullscreen button) and tap the stylus to get right-click in VNC.

bhaskar,

I have just ordered my n810 although primarily interested in being able to VPN then SSH2 to my Unix hosts I am also interested in getting a Citrix Client to work.

Did you have to do everything listed in the thread starters initial instructions or did it work out of the box?

Thanks

Has anyone gone in through a CAG with an 810? I expect if you do this all you need is java running on the 810 and not the full Citrix client install.
