I have the VNC viewer installed on my zaurus but I was wondering what else is needed...even on a pc or linux box.

You will need the vnc server installed on the machine you want to connect to.

Also you will need a working network connection between the zaurus and the server.

Whatch out if you have a firewall on your machine, either add the vnc ports into the firewall or disable it for testing.

get vnc server for your pc/powerbook here :-

That's it really.

Ah Ha! I'm running Special pre-emptive kernel on a 5600 and the code is supposedly based on an 860. Since upgrading, I've had a problem with VNC server as well. The Zaurus will become unresponsive, when I try to start apps they don't start or seg fault and within a couple of minutes the Zaurus goes back to the count-down part of the boot process.

I tried going back to the Sharp v1.32 ROM and VNC worked fine. I re-installed the special version and the problem is back. I've tried capturing the output from VNCServer's errors but there doesn't appear to be much there.
