• Login via telnet or ssh, and set LOGNAME=unknown You can run programs on the Zaurus (and displayed on the Zaurus) while connected remotely (eg, via telnet or SSH), but you’ll first need to set the environment variable “LOGNAME”. Run this command first: export LOGNAME=unknown And then you can launch Zaurus programs like the Calendar (“datebook”) or the Calculator (“calculator”) from your remote session, and have them pop up on the Zaurus, as if you clicked their icon! Source: Jim Murff Last updated: 2002.Apr.25 • Use VNC You can use your desktop (keyboard, monitor, mouse) as if it were your Zaurus (keyboard, LCD, stylus) by running the VNC server software on the Zaurus, and a VNC client (like “xvnc” for Linux) on the desktop. Anything you do to the Zaurus’ screen over VNC will happen right on the Zaurus, and vice-versa! (This is especially useful for getting the Zaurus’ screen onto a projector for demonstrating Qtopia.)
