x11vnc on the Touch / Paperwhite
Further to nasser's request about connecting INTO a device via VNC here is the resulting posts split off:
.................................................. ................... https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=150434 I use that for VNC. (viewing on the kindle - FROM a computers VNC) I also just built the tools (with Knc1's help and initial instruction) from buildroot. /mnt/us/extensions/system/bin/vnc /mnt/us/extensions/system/bin/x11vnc /mnt/us/extensions/system/bin/Xvnc-start.sh where vnc is Code:
#!/bin/sh x11vnc -shared -noxdamage -forever -noncache Hope that helps Last edited by twobob; 08-17-2013 at 09:55 AM. Reason: Background |

A guide to?
buildroot? Here's an extreme example: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=188031 All the principles required to build a kernel MORE than ace the needs to build a simple app (which is included by default btw) Here's an "Adding Stuff" guide for when you get ninja. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=106 I may split this lot off to a new thread at some point. Anyways. There is a WHOLE RAFT of posts by me about using buildroot. Plus the buildroot docs (which are very helpful) and a whole bunch of stuff by knc1 too. Hope that helps. And... if you want the binary... https://github.com/twobob/buildroot-...target/usr/bin would be a good place to start. Hope that helps. and finally: Here's one I made earlier https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=201703 Last edited by twobob; 08-15-2013 at 01:26 PM. |

I did.
That's the last link. Just rip out the bit you need. Shove it on the device. Run it in the way I have shown. May need to punch a hole in your firewall for port 5900. I'll think about turning that into a button then. |

But.. not able to interact with it from pc.. mouse movements/clicks not recognised.. Still able to use kindle though.. and the pc screen changes accordingly.. ..

I'll test that.
Okay quick point for future reader: The ABOVE attachment EXPECTS to be in folder called /mnt/us/extensions/x11vnc Hmmmmm.... [ Read 12 lines (Converted from DOS format) ] What EDITOR are you using? That seems like it is DOS encoded??? FEEDBACK: seems to work fine using xtightvncviewer <IP ADDRESS> What viewer you using? I think I'll break this off to a new thread. EDIT <done> Also I think I will repackage this thing to be a tadge more resilient. Last edited by twobob; 08-17-2013 at 10:34 AM. |

Working now..
Tried various vnc viewers.. vinagre - mouse cursor is invisible tightvncviewer - not able to scale, scrollbar once used, becomes frozen xvnc4viewer - not able to scale finally settled on ssvnc - Quote:
.. set scale to 0.5 for best viewing on my netbook's 1024x600 display.. Once again, thanks a lot, twobob..! EDIT(20131104): since then migrated to ubuntu 12.0.4.. here the pre-installed "remmina remote desktop client" works ok too Last edited by nasser; 11-04-2013 at 08:43 AM. |
