02:59 < +otakup0pe> no mouse though i bet
03:00 < GPFaway> yeah it crashes if i touch the keypad lol
03:01 < GPFaway> had to disable my vncserver password also
03:01 < GPFaway> and have to move windows around on the desktop to get it to redraw the screen on the ds lol
03:01 < GPFaway> and its only the upper couple inches since my windows xp display is 1600X1200 lol
03:02 < GPFaway> damn im in a laughing mood tonight

Wow! when I first heared of DSlinux I thought about getting tinny VNC to run on it. Think about it. sitting at work and playing the best games on the web with your ds, with top graphics and stuff(and bad controls)! Anyway, thats great! Can hardly wait til’ u get this running smoothly. (hope u do anyway).

Hmm… I would certainly NEVER want to play a game on a remote computer over VNC.

I got vnc working too. You have to either run with no auth, or you have to put a password file someplace for it. It crashes if you give it a bad password file name.
With my current mouse driver, I can open and close windows, but I can’t drag them. The keyboard works fine for. The trick is to lauch nano-X last and leave it in the forground to read keyboard events
nanowm & .. other stuff … & nano-X

oh, one more thing, you want to direct the output to dev null to keep it from overwritting the frame buffer
nano-X > /dev/null 2>&1

Instead of taking a chunk out of the top screen for the console wouldn’t it be better to cut off the top of the bottom screen (above the keyboard)?

There shouldn’t be any visible console output at all.

Wouldn’t it be possible to create a Xvnc session that is the right size for the ds screen?

Well then could someone get on that?

I tried making a Xvnc terminal server with the right res 226×556 (or something) but I think it’s too small for stuff like xdm to work. There is also a framebuffer based vnc client, fbvnc, which I have on my dbox2 which is pretty crappy (66Mhz powerpc, ?ram) but it works pretty well (using a tv remote!). Maybe it would be better to try and port that rather than the nano-x one.
