Why does everyone make a pocketpc vnc client and not a vnc server?

[famewolf]

Ok...I run linux and I would like to be able to remote control my pocketpc similar to how the my mobiler software allows people running windows using activesync. Usually this would not be a problem because vnc is free and runs on everything. I've found 15 different free vnc CLIENTS for the pocketpc but the only servers I've found is a pay one and one that is so old I think it's for ce 2002.

What am I missing?

As I mentioned "I've found 15 different free vnc CLIENTS for the pocketpc but the only servers I've found is a pay one and one that is so old I think it's for ce 2002."

You listed the two I mentioned..good job. Pocketvncserv would not connect with my vncviewer..hence my post.

Ever try a nifty little application called "Mobiler"? It displays your wizard's screen on your PC. Full control, etc. Basically does what a VNC server would, and more.

I use a program called SOTI Pocket Controller, but it only works in windows, I need a way to control my Pocket PCs from Linux...

I've tried the pocketvncsvr package, and the server seems to work - but I too cannot connect to the server from my client.

I've tried using ultra, tight and real-vnc specified raw encoding and any number of colour combinations without luck.

The mobiler package worked well enough - but windows only, and my TP2 seems to kill wifi when I use activesync; so its no good for my purpose.

Can anyone share their connection setting and client version that is known to work?

cheers,

My Mobiler works in Linux under wine (http://bestwikiever.wikidot.com/wine) over wifi with "Connect IP"

Dunno about a way over USB.

PocketVNC: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pocketvnc/. Both server and client included. Haven't tried it though so I don't know if it works.

I might have tried that one. I have tried a few that didn't work. I can't remember if that's one of them...
