Virtual Resolution / Panning

  • Hold down the Gesture area to pan / drag screen

Limitations

  • Virtual resolution is 2000x1080
  • Only gets hostname as a parameter (without command line)
  • VNC password authentication may not work. I only use it to connect locally without password or via ssh Tunnel.

Known bugs

  • Hostname input without command line is flakey if you type fast. Take is slow
  • Drag selecting text seems to crash the underlying vnc library.

Installing

Requirements

  • libSDL_vnc - also in the repository
  • Preware

Steps

Until package you need to get the code from the repo and compile yourself.
