Anyway, if you intend to show on the DR screen apps running on you PC expect some problems with screen refreshes, as those programs are not using the DR special libraries. You should need to compile X server or VNC viewer for the DR and include code to handle refresh calls properly. Iņigo Last edited by Iņigo; 09-17-2010 at 06:29 PM. |

I've wondered if it is available, too! Would it be, someday?

but if I remeber well.. X is already running on the DR, try "top" to check.. you should need only a connection between the two X over tcp/ip inside usb.. |

Certainly not impossible, but more work than just getting a connection setup. I believe there have been other discussion about this issue in the past that we can search for to get some more details on what else needs to be done to make it work. |

what about using the reader as a graphical tablet? would that be easy to implement?
