Hello guys.

I have successfully installed and connected to a VNC session. I was surprised by how smooth it is, it is great.

I was thinking that this could be a way around the lack of Real support for the tablets, but alas, audio does not play through the VNC connection. Is there any way that I can make this happen? Searching has not turned up anything useful.

It would be useful for anything: Watching videos smoothly on Google Video/Youtube, having full Media players available, and so on.

And, a bit off topic, is there any display option that can fit my 1680x1050 resolution desktop all into the VNC Viewer's window?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Correct, which is why I opened a thread to see if there were any work arounds available.

Thanks for the tip regarding the resolution.

esd can run over a network. That's likely the best option.

Would I need to run ESD on my PC, or on the tablet?

Run esd on your tablet (it's already running, but reconfigure it to listen on a tcp port). Then you set some environment variable on the PC, and all your esound apps forward properly. Latency, of course, can be a problem...

I've got a 10MB down/840kb up connection on a WRT45GS router with all devices at G bandwidth. Should serve the job, eh?

Sorry for being a noob, but how would I get configure esd?

Nice BW, but latency is likely an issue.

Edit /etc/esd.conf

I haven't done this, so search around...
