Remote X on Nokia 770: schreenshots
Nov 19th, 2005 by RealNitro
Due to the fact that the screenshot tool had a bug at the time I gave remote X windows a try on the N770, I could’t post any ‘proof’.
But, that screenshot-bug has been solved, and I connected my N770 to the fresh install of Ubuntu Linux so I could take shoot some screens. It took me about 4 minutes to make my N770 talk to the pc (Ubuntu recognised my usb bluetooth key immediately, it really wasn’t hard at all). I installed the openssh-server on the pc (enabled it in Synaptic, and pressed Apply, easy stuff), started it, and logged in with my N770.
This time I used some new command line options (thank you daf):
ssh -X user@server -c blowfish -C
And I started oowriter2 again:
and a few seconds later (the pc is quite old):
Then I gave The Gimp another try, but the lag was still there. It was better a bit faster than without the compression settings for the ssh connection, but nowhere near usable. 
btw, has anyone tried this keyboard with the N770 yet? Does it work? Or should/will it work? Plz let me know!

Nice work, RealNitro!

No the smart keyboard will not work on a nokia 770. I bought one last friday and discoverd that is lacks a hid profile which al normal BT products have to make them plug&play. So DON’T buy a one.

Thx for the info, Timon.
hi.
i am using ubuntu and openssh-server installed on PC side, and ssh client on the 770. simple ssh to the PC works, but x-forwarding gives err. message, does not matter whether calling ssh with or w/o the “-c blowfish -C” parameter.
the err. msg:
“error in locking authority file /home/mss/.Xauthority”
and when strting an app (pl. xine)
X11 connection rejected…
pls. help
I don’t know exactly what the problem is. But did you check if X-forwarding is enabled in ‘/etc/ssh/sshd_config’? Search for the line with ‘X11Forwarding’ in it. It should say ‘X11Forwarding yes’.
