[Sugar-devel] VNC for Projector View

[David Leeming]

I have used the VNC Launcher activity (v3) extensively in training workshops to project XO displays using a PC Windows computer with UltraVNC Viewer installed (free software www.ultravnc.com)  It is very stable and easy to use in conjunction with an XS school server using the Eth1 network, either wired or wireless. The XO being projected continues to operate as a full member of the group so you can demonstrate network view and sharing activities, and also anything through the XS, Moodle etc. To me this seems more authentic than using an emulator.

A couple of tips:

·         On the XO which you want to project, you need to make a small change to a config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to allow remote mouse clicking. Comment out the line below by adding an asterisk in front, or change “Disable” to “Enable”

Option "XTEST" "Disable" # Mostly a debugging tool



·         Connect the PC that is being used with the projector to the XS Eth1 network, either wirelessly or wired. On the XO that you want to make the VNC connection with, get the IP address from the frame icon. Then start VNC Launch Activity

·         On the PC, start UltraVNC Viewer. You will need to change the display area settings to match the screen sizes. Then enter the XO’s IP address and off you go. 

·         Note that you have to restart both the VNC Launcher and the Viewer if you need to shut down either one of them

One software for view the image of the XO at Projector 3M


Your question is somewhat vague. Are you trying to display the XO's screen on another computer? 

If so, you want http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Remote_display
