Just tried both versions - both work fine, including sending mouse and keyboard events :-)

Thanks. Did you notice any better operations with 02 over 01?

deadwood, on native AROS One x86 on PC I managed to connect with the VNC Client (see screenshot), both versions seem to work the same way.

Yesterday I could not connect because I did not know that you had to run VNC Server on the PC side and set a new password !!

I point out that on VMware does not work well, the connection with VNC Client works well, but open multiple screens (multiple Windows desktop)

Domanada but VNC Server on AROS works? no GUI is opened

I'll need to test a bit more deeply for that.

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. oen thing though - the old client used to pop up a GUI, but not the new one?

Yes, the server does work (my test was AROS to AROS); the server does not put up a gui by default but if you look at its tooltypes there is the option 'STARTHIDDEN'  - set yo 'no' and you get the GUI.

Cheers,
Nigel.

Too bad, so for the parameters you have to use the Tooltypes Icon !

I'm not sure what you mean? The old client (as attached by AMIGASYSTEM a few posts back) always crashes when you click connect, so I don't understand what you mean by "pop up a GUI"?

Just the configuration gui so you could set th options before clicking 'connect' - I was not getting that with the new version, I had to set options via the shell.

Cheers,

On AROS One x86 v2.1, the GUI of the new version of VNC Client works very well !!!

Hmm, that GUI is a separate script and it requires AmiLUA to be installed.

Just to say your new VNC client was tested on AROSOne which gives the GUI for the old buggy version.

Cheers,
Nigel.

How do you start it to get the GUI? Do you click the VNC-Client icon or start ArosVNC program?

Just from the icon. The icon of the old client is of type 'project' and the default tool is amilua, as you said. However, if I copy acorss the icon for the new client it comes across as 'tool' and so of course the defualt tool cannot be set.

Cheer,
Nigel.

Hmm, I didn't include icon in the zip file - only the executable

@ntromans

ArosVNC is a Binary

VNC-Client is a script that generates the GUI for "ArosVNC"

If you create an icon for "ArosVNC" you will get a "Tool" icon

If you create an icon for "VNC-Client" you will get a "Project" icon

On AROS "Wanderer" there is no program to change the type of Icon, while you can do it with Dopus5 Magellan

Also you can change the AROS Icons on OS3
