On Linux, you may want to start like this:
* give yourself a reasonable 4:3 resolution, and maybe the desired screen orientation, such as FOR EXAMPLE:
Code:
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1600x1200 --rate 60.00 --rotate left
### or
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1280x960 --rate 60.00 --rotate normal
* You could choke your network data rate on the interface bridging you to the tablet to make the USB networking more stable, such as
Code:
wondershaper enp0s29f7u6 4000 4000
That horrid "enp0s29f7u6" is my interface name, I hope yours is nicer. The numbers there are 4kb/s as a limit for both upload and download. Note: as implicit, this may not be useful in case of a Wi-Fi or a BlueTooth connection.
* Then, supposing you have started the USB networking on the tablet (I assume you have my software application or my instructions), set-up the networking side,
Code:
ifconfig enp0s29f7u6 192.168.22.1 ; ping -c 3 192.168.22.2
For Wi-Fi or BT, you'll probably manage networking automatically or differently.
* So you can now start the VNC server; you can try, for example, as your normal user:
Code:
x11vnc -noipv6 -allow 192.168.22.2 -forever -speeds lan -noxdamage
* On the tablet, you will have bVNC, I suggest you use Iordan's last version or the one I modified and published here last. Flag:
-- in the main app screen, in the menu, tick "Force Landscape Orientation" if this is the case;
-- in the list of the "Show Advanced Settings", tick "Local mouse pointer" to have the mouse move a bit faster;
-- in the menu of the working VNC connection, specify that you want a "Fit to screen" visualization.
If anybody finds a better working configuration, please post it.
For example, the '-noxdamage' parameter for `x11vnc` seems to me to mirror the changes sooner, but it may be just a wrong impression. I have not tested all possible solutions.
