cpulvermacher | # 1 | 2010-08-01, 21:12 | Report

A touchscreen friendly VNC client

Features:
* Viewport can be dragged around without using scrollbars
* Touchpad-like mouse input: Tap the screen for a single
click, tap twice for a double click, single tap plus
dragging motion to drag objects on the remote desktop
* Fit remote desktop to screen
* Configurable zoom buttons
* Portrait mode support

Presence VNC 0.2 can be found in the extras-devel repository.

Once I figure out how to launch the virtual keyboard via Qt I'll include it (hints welcome

)

Wow...looking really good so far!

I do have one suggestion though: Could you make it so that I can use the Shift and Function keys without having to hold them down, so that I can just press the Shift/Fn key and then hit the key that I want, like most other Maemo apps?

Other than that small issue, this one is a vast improvement over the other Maemo VNC viewer.

Thanks a lot:!

This app isn't working for me. It prompts me for an ip then it just spins and spins and never connects. I also tried running from the command prompt to see if the terminal gave any useful output, unfortunately it didn't tell me much:

--------------------- trying init ---------------------
scaleResize(): 636 476
scaleResize(): 0 0

EDIT: Nevermind. I was being stupid. I was trying to connect to the ip address when I should've been connecting to ip:1
It's working for me now.

Really cool! Will take it for a spin when i get home.

Right-Click supportet ?

mornage | # 7 | 2010-08-02, 07:56 | Report

Excellent, as soon as my router arrives and I will test this on my LAN. The original VNC on N900 was good but hard to use due to it not liking touch screen, but this seems to be a vast improvement.

I agree with FreeThinker and eme, to be able to press shift/function once would be very handy. And some kind of right click support is needed (either long tap of screen or function and click)

According to the preferences in the app, the left zoom HW button is configured as left-click and the right HW zoom button is configured as right-click.

Haven't tried it in practice yet, though.

I do not know how good it is on 3g. But i rekkon that it would be nice to have an option for a heavy compression stream. Maybe something for later though.
