Swervomotor Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 We have successfully connected to our headless plc with a VNC viewer on a tablet (android) but they act like a computer mouse where when you move your finger a curser on screen moves. Is there a better VNC viewer that acts as a touch screen (finger click/taps) instead of a mouse moving with touch screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al3x Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Did you find a solution? I have the same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel_EWW Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 we are using virt-viewer with a ubuntu system. if you google "virt viewer android" or "virt manager android" you find some downloads. not sure if this helps but maybe it is worth trying.

Saragani Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 I'm not sure that there is a solution. I don't know what virt-viewer gives, but VNC protocol is a very old protocol, which its last update was in 2011, long before touch screens where mainstream. It's designed to support mouse and keyboard, so it doesn't surprise me that you see a mouse cursor where ever you touch. The protocol is being maintained by RealVNC, and this explains the protocol https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6143 As far as I know, the protocol doesn't support multi-touch, and as much as I remember, it doesn't transfer audio.
