Tweetdeck over rdesktop on q7

Originally uploaded by umpcportal.com

Finally after finding the repo (mojo Armv6 at handhelds.org) and giving up trying to get xterm working, I installed mlterm common and tiny and it worked.

Update: No need to mess with installing a term. evilvte is pre-installed!

Since then I have installed rdesktop as you can see in the pic. Tuxpaint also installed. The whole world of Linux apps awaits! The only restrictions are screen space, storage and memory (128M)

More soon…

    Evilvte it has! Now you tell me. Ispent all that time on the term for nothing.
    At least ive got the repo and rdesktop sorted out.

    Do you have a Q5/7 raaiman? I did some serching but could’nt find any info for the term.

    Could you make a small video showing rdesktop in action? I’d love to see how responsive/usable it is over wifi.

    Hello Chippy, have you tried using Synergy on the Q7? With Synergy you can use the keyboard and mouse from your desktop PC to control the Q7 via IP (no need for bluetooth). The Q7 will become an extension of the desktop of your PC. Synergy runs on Linux and Windows.
