Nokia N900 guide - How to setup VNC server on the N900 and view it on Ubuntu

On the Nokia N900:

• Download and install x11vnc from the extra-devels repository
• Run x11vnc (under More Applications)
• (You get a new x11vnc process each time you click the x11vnc icon. So just make sure you click it once.)
• Obtain your N900 IP address by typing the following in the X Terminal: /sbin/ifconfig

• In the above example, the IP address is 192.168.1.103.

On Ubuntu:

• Make sure you have vnc viewer installed. If not, sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer
• Then type, vncviewer <N900's IP address>

(Alternatively, you can install tightvnc on your Windows machine to get the same result.)
