I maintain the nxrun client for NX.  When paired with an NX server or FreeNX server, it allows you to create low-bandwidth x-based connections to a linux server.

Generally speaking, a connection uses about 20k and is more responsive than a remote X session and certainly faster than VNC.  

NXRun is a command line client and very small and portable.  It does require the open source nx libraries.

more info here:  http://home.nc.rr.com/moznx/

I wish I had time to set up a pdaXrom development environment and get this ported but I don't.

If anyone is willing to help with the port I can provide all the details.

Thanks,

Lawrence

When I know that I'll happily give it a shot

the sdk for rc9 works for rc10 http://www.pdaxrom.org/index.php?showid=40&menuid=11
(unless you need something that is only present in the latest libraries)

you can use the native sdk here http://212.10.30.205/rc10/Zaurus-7x0-860/
for rc10 on you 6000 without a problem.
(mount -o loop zgcc-3.3.6.img /opt/native/arm/3.3.6-xscale-softvfp ,be sure to create the directory before)

Now with a gui!

I have posted nxrun-gui.py on the freenx website.  It is a gui that mimics the main features of the NXClient gui.

I know it runs on pdaxrom because I wrote it on my zaurus.

This is a *bump*.  I am still looking for someone who has experience compiling for pdaxrom to compile the client.

I can give it a try sometime this week while watching some baseball

I've got the pdaxrom sdk setup, used it to compile a few things so far... this might be a bit more complicated than the stuff I've done, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Any pointers to what I need to start with?

Hey, Jason.  Good to here from you.  I hope the girls are doing well.

The main info on compiling the core nx client libraries are here:

http://web01.nomachine.com/documentation/b...-components.php

We need:

nxssh
nxcomp
nxproxy

Then, you need the nxc libraries:

nxcompsh
nxdriver
nxrun

These files are in CVS on the freenx site.  The gui can also be downloaded there.

freenx.berlios.de

The nxc components and the NX libraries are not linked together so they can be built separately.

Howdy!  Girls are doing great, thanks!

Ok... nxcomp and nxproxy compiled pretty easily.  nxssh is being kind of a pain since it wants to compile all sorts of test programs in the configure script even though I'm cross-compiling.  I've edited by hand (hacked) the configure script for a few of them but there are a lot more to go.  I'll either find a better way or finish those hacks tonight.

Where are those other components in svn?

Sounds like some good progress!

They have switched the server over to svn, but all my client stuff is still in cvs.

There is another python client in svn but it is incomplete and does not use the nxdriver library that implements most of the protocol.  I have never looked at it but it may be interesting.

I've compiled the module, but I didn't tested it ..(don't know much about NX)
the binaries are in /usr/NX/bin.

I've attached a sample session file given to me by the folks on #nx.

If someone wants to try ...

Thanks to pgas!

I have used these binaries to successfully connect to some nx servers!

I definitely need to write a how-to because there were some tweaks I had to make to get it going.

I will post the steps here soon.

Also, I had trouble connecting to a 1.5.0 nomachine server, but it worked fine against a couple of 1.4.x FreeNX servers.  I will try and track the issue down.

Thanks again for your help!
