Just tried version 2 - worked well for me using "Chicken of the VNC" on an old 400mhz Mac. --Tomhannen 18:25, 15 November 2007 (EST)

Does anybody know how to get mouse & keyboard input to work with VNC? I tried the appropriate server options & client options, but VNC still won't accept mouse/keyboard events. VNC would be great to get to work, because an adult typing on very small keyboard is a big pain (yes, I know external keyboard & ssh, but would rather have vnc)

SSH session glitches

I'm using Sugar tunneled over SSH to a Windows machine, using the Xming X server, and am getting a number of glitches:

  • Fonts are really little.
  • Mouse cursors get cropped a bit.
  • The desktop-in-a-window fills the screen, rather than sizing itself to 1200x900.
  • All activities (including Journal!) terminate when minimized.
  • The frame disappears in Home view when the mouse is moved away from the edge of the screen.

Also, the XO kept its IP address after init 3. (OLPC build 650 on a MP XO-1) Joemck 02:27, 3 January 2008 (EST)

VNC options ordering

x11vnc is so much simpler to install/set up, not having to deal with passwords. I think it should be the first VNC software option given, and RealVNC only listed as an alternate for those who care about password protection. Opinions? Sarah Elkins 20:17, 7 February 2008 (EST)
