Consider this a draft for updating our wikipage, or even better a script...
So - starting with the F9 procedure at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Adding_USB_SVGA
- Kernel module is now in our build (sisusbvga.ko) - this simplifies
life enormously
- Fedora repos have an appropriate x11 driver (again, this makes life
easy) so just
yum install x11vnc tigervnc xorg-x11-drv-sisvga
- in /etc/X11, backup your xorg-xo1.5-dcon.conf and then add the
following sections
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "usbvgamirror"
Screen 0 "ScreenUSBVGA" 0 0
InputDevice "DummyMouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "DummyKB" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "DummyKB"
Driver "void"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "DummyMouse"
Driver "void"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "MonitorUSBVGA"
ModelName "Anything"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "CardUSBVGA"
Driver "sisusb"
Option "DisconnectTimeout "5"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "ScreenUSBVGA"
Device "CardUSBVGA"
Monitor "MonitorUSBVGA"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection
--
Now, we need to run the following shellscript from Terminal.xo as root:
#!/bin/bash
x11vnc -display :0 -scale 800x600 -localhost -viewonly -once -timeout 10 &
sleep 3
xinit /usr/bin/vncviewer -FullScreen localhost -- :1 -sharevts -layout
sisusbvgamirror -br -dpms
And it works. There are repaint issues, and it's a bit laggy, but it
works pretty nice.
cheers,
