On Ubuntu, the vncserver seems to come with its own wrapper script and config files. Personally, I'm using the ArchLinux distribution, but I would recommend that only to people who are experienced on Linux. TinyApps.Org: There shouldn't be all that many roadblocks, but admitted, the setup is a bit difficult to grasp on Linux. That's probably the first thing on my list now.

I think giving the password on the command line (or in the launchpad config file) is the best approach to this problem. That may not be desired in your Wifi network.

So your server must be configured to allow access without password. Not terribly useful when having a USB connection, but for Wifi, it would be a nice feature, I think.Īlso, password support is still missing. Then it would be feasible to use this to get a 'full blown' desktop that you can use on the Kindle only. Thanks for the kind comments! I'm planning to add keyboard support and a mouse emulation, but that may take a few days.

#Vnc viewer mac os x 10.6 update#

Update 2012 Oct 27: Added missing files, otherwised unchanged to Oct 05 version. The call to kaffeine was factored out (it now uses the LIPC mechanism) and a host shell script for creating an Xvnc server plus calling kindlevncviewer via ssh was introduced - thanks to dpavlin! No dithering support for 8bpp for now, that was a proof of concept anyway. Update 2012 Oct 05: Added support for 8bpp framebuffers (should now work on K2, KDX, K3, K4/K5, possibly KPW. Except for this new play mode, update doesn't bring any new stuff. You can activate this mode by giving the '-dithered' switch on command line. The backside is that only high contrast parts are visible. It only paints white and black pixels to archieve that. This isn't very usable, but it will not flash the screen at all (i.e. Maybe I'll script that soon or someone beats me to it. Also, I've prepared a callback function for pointer movements. But you can edit a and have you own layout or even macros by just scripting them in Lua. When you press Home, the viewer will quit.

Page Forward is mapped to TAB, Page Backward is ESC. Currently, keys are passed to host mostly as-is. This works by doing a callback into a Lua file. In short, it has 2 new optional arguments now: '-password ' which will read a password given as the following option, and '-readpassword' which will read the password from standard input, so you can pipe it from a command or a file. See the included launchpad configuration file for an example. Update 2011 Oct 04: Added support for password-based authentification. Your connection options would be USB or Wifi (on K3/K4/K5). It's tested on a Kindle DX Graphite and a Kindle 3 Wifi at the moment, also a test was done for the K4. It also comes with a config file for Launchpad.

The attached ZIP archive contains runnable executables and a file INSTALL.TXT which explains how to install the application. On Windows, you would probably use some virtual second screen and use a VNC server that provides the contents of this screen or just fire up a VNC server and work on a clone of your main PC screen. (Note that for me, the x2vnc app is a bit broken right now, but it works well enough.) Code: x2vnc -east localhost:1to use my mouse and keyboard from my 'main' X server, simulating a screen transition on the right ('east') side of my main X display.
