It sounds to me like an SDL version of rdesktop is needed too. This is still going to be very useful though.

I found an old version of an SDL version of rdesktop, but apparently is incomplete according to the developer's page.

Maybe this is something that could be coordinated with the FreeRDP project?

Re. MLJones8 post (as possibly others), will this be packaged at all for preware?

This is so exciting. I downloaded the 1.05 zip binaries, and it does connect and display the top left corner of any password-less VNC server. I get a segfault whenever I touch the Gesture area however.

I wonder if anybody's actively working on this project? It looks sooooo close to being completed.

Any idea why?

I get this when I connect to my OpenSuse 10.3 desktop. When I connect to my OpenSolaris Desktop, it logs in but I only get a black screen.

Hey,

first of all, thanks for the great VNC application!

Concerning authentication, I think I have found the problem:

Line 653 in sdlvnc.c should read:

result=vncConnect(&vnc,vnc_server,vnc_port,"hextile,rre,copyrect,raw,cursor",vnc_password,10);

replacing the string "lyoner" with the actual variable holding the password!

I tested this on the unmodified SDL_vnc library on Arch, it is working fine now. However, I can't test this on my Pre, because I can't find your modified version of SDL_vnc.c / SDL_vnc.h. Where can they be found?

Thanks,
andy

git.webos-internals.org Git - applications/sdlvnc.git/summary and git.webos-internals.org Git - preware/cross-compile.git/tree - packages/dev-sdl/libsdl-vnc/ are the two places that I know about.

Is there a VNC client a regular person can just download and install on the Pre?

I've done a little research and all I find is stuff I'd have to compile with stuff I can't find...

Media Remote doesn't remote the PC, just media players ON the PC. Deepthoughtsoftware's betas are all expired and I can't find anything there that works, and I'd really prefer to use the VNC instances I already have installed.

Thanks

I'm still looking for a decent VNC client for webOS so I can stop carrying around my iTouch. I emailed RealVNC (I really like their iOS VNC app) but they said they have no plans for creating an app for WebOS unless it gets bigger.

Has anyone managed to compile the Linux tightvnc viewer to run on the X display offered by Xecutah? It seems to me that, with the right tool-chain, this would be the path of least resistance to getting VNC viewing working on WebOS.

Have you tried prenewbie's rcontrol beta?

I need a vnc client too, as an old palm user in my pixi plus I use mochavnc for palmos in classic 2.1.12, for the moment works good.
Another good tool is wifilepro for palmos, run without problems in classic, is a FTP client.
