Ported VNC Client to QNX RTP Anyone ?

Has anyone tried to port the VNC client application to QNX RTP ?

VNC is a GNU software that would allow (the client that is) someone to open
a graphic session (the desktop) of a Windows machine inside a QNX window.

Hello Marc,

I’ve seen it on sourceforget.net. However it runs as an X application not
as a native Photon application. I remember reading that performance
was pretty bad.

There are other options Marc.

  • Get the Citrix stuff.
  • Install Terminal Server under Windows and there are software available
    to provide access via brower. I haven’t seen this myself though.

Hello Marc,

Take a look in `qdn.public.porting´. There are some threads discussing
VNC.

Hi Mario,

I tried VNC myself from one MS-Windows machine to another and it worked
pretty well. Furthermore, it’s free so it makes it easier to setup a demo
for the poeple at work and even try it for a little while before deciding on
a technology.

Third, citric stuff is quite expensive…

I know that VNC is has some X-Windows support, I thought that I could be
recompiled and run under QNX RTP using the X in Photon emulation that is
available…

But thanks for the input, it’s appreciated.

Did you have a look to the OpenQNX page
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openqnx/ ?

There you can download Frank Liu’s VNC port.

Thanks a lot for the tip…

Just for clarification,
VNC as an X application, performance is good.
If you couple it with Photon, performance will be bad.
(see my other post couple of months ago in qdn.* for the benchmark data).
This is probably because Photon graphics driver doesn’t have the
same level of hardware acceralation support as X server.

By the way, both X server and VNC can be downloaded from sourceforge:

My understanding is that VNC uses the X emulator under
Photon hence the slow speed.

there are three ways to run VNC client under RTP:

  1. Run XFree86 X Window system as your base GUI, and run VNC client
    as an X application.
    This is fast. You are taking advantage of X graphics driver.
  2. Run Photon as base GUI, XPhoton as x emulator, VNC client
    as an X application inside XPhoton.
    Your performance is capped by Photon, plus the additional Xphoton
    layer.
  3. Run Photon as base GUI, run VNC as a native Photon client.
    http://www.nexwarecorp.com/support/qnx.htm#vnc
    performance should be better because of the elimination of
    the Xphoton layer, but you are still getting capped by Photon.

If you want fast speed, option 1 is your choice. If you want to
tiny/embedded GUI, you should go 2 or 3.
