nanogui: Thread: VNC-Server

Hi nanogui Experts,

I'm using uCLinux on a NIOS processor.

At the moment I'm testing this on a NEEK Devkit board I  bought from 
Altera. Same features a nice Touchscreen LCD, PS2-socket, Ethernet 
socket etc.

The distribution toolchain comes with nano-X and this does work fine 
with the touchscreen and the keyboard.

The device I am going to construct will not have a display screen 
hardware (but lots of RAM) but I'd like to go on using nano-X nonetheless.

I'd like to set up a normal RAM are as framebuffer and use VNC from a PC 
to access the GUI.

So the first step would be to enable VNC server on the uCLinux test system.

How can this be done ?

I did find informations on this in the internet, but this seems to be a 
quite old project and the maintainer did not answer to my email.

Another member of the NIOS Linux community is interested in this too. So 
maybe we can work together to get this going.

Any help from the nano-X community would be greatly appreciated, of course.

-Michael

IIRC there is a VNC server built into nano-X.  It needs libvnc or some such.  
You have to read the source.  Also, about 3 eyars ago, I think I submitted 
some patches via the maillist to make the VNC server work with newer vnc 
source.

You probably want to search the mailling list for my name and VNC.

IIRC the changes were pretty trivial; mostly updating header files and 
function calls..
