macOS support #21
Comments
I haven't found any way to make a virtual screen. With SwitchResX you can set the main screen size to a exact number of pixels. |
Thanks for investigating that. If you want to try it out, check out the following thread for beta rM2 support: #15 (comment) |
After some testing with rM2 and macOs: It is Partly working macOS VNC-Server:
Vine VNC-Server |
Excited to see progress here! I'm looking forward to eventually using my rM2 as a mirrored screen on my Mac for terminal & emacs use. |
The latest release (0.4.0) adds full reMarkable 2 support (@lfuhr) and no longer forces you to set the server resolution to have 1408 pixel columns. This should make setting up the VNC server easier. Unfortunately, I don’t own a device running macOS so I can’t help with the OS-specific part, but if you see things to implement in the client that would simplify setup, please let me know. |
I've installed vnsee on my rM2 and I've set up the macOS screen sharing. When I run vnsee I get the following:
I installed Resolutionator to see whether it would help, and set my macbook's resolution to 1650x1050, but I see the same error:
Is there a way I can set the resolution & rotation of vnsee so I can use the rM2 in landscape? |
@matteodelabre if it's any help, my rM2 is running version |
Hello @OldhamMade! Sorry I missed your first message. You need to setup remarkable2-framebuffer on your reMarkable 2 before VNSee (and a lot of other apps) can work. The easiest way to do that is to install Toltec first and then run Note that VNSee is also available as a package in Toltec, but it’s not yet up to date unfortunately, so you’ll need to keep VNSee manually installed as you already did. |
Made some progress on the OSX front. Some research I did lead me here, and running this command from that thread That being said, the actual performance is still pretty rough. The screen is displayed landscape on the portrait reMarkable, and it seems the screen doesn't update properly. I forced a lower resolution by using mirroring with an external monitor, allowing much more of the screen to be seen. I'm using an rm2, so I don't have a way of forcing a screen refresh. Here's an image showing what it looks like: |
if I open the remote login from Mac preference, I could vnc to it showing the login windows bu that's it. No so practical for now. Is there a way to let vnsee auto-rescale? |
I came across a tool to create dummy monitor in mac. The tool is made for a different reason but I don't know if it also helps here. https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDummy |
Any progress? |
Dismal. Trying everything suggested above. Can‘t get even past ‘Failed to innitialize VNC connection‘. |
I've had some limited success getting it to work with the OSXvnc/Vine VNC server You can use BetterDummy mentioned above to create a 1404x1872 display to match the reMarkable's aspect ratio. I'm still having problems getting a cursor to appear on the VNC client, and the stability of OSXvnc leaves a little to be desired... But it's so close to working well. |
@bbrks Good to see some progress! |
@bbrks great work! Do you know whether your approach would work landscape also? |
is Landscape possible yet? |
Mac OS does have a built in VNC client, but it does not seem to support virtual screens.
