If your laptop is running Linux, you could use something like x2x:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/x2x
I installed it on my Ubuntu box but by default it looks like Xomap
on the n800 is set to not listen for remote connections.
Actually it should (that's a bug in Xomap configuration discussed
earlier in this list :)). Are you sure you've asked the N800
X server to allow connections from your machine (e.g. with:
"xhost +<your IP>", see "man xhost")?
Alternatively you could just forward the N800 local X connection over
ssh ("ssh -X"), if you have installed ssh to your N800 (I haven't used
ssh on N800 myself though).
Is there an example you could give of connecting?
I haven't tried it myself on N800, but I've used x2x otherwise
(on another embedded Linux device years ago). Just do:
x2x -west -from :0 -to <N800-IP>:0
Then when you move your mouse to the left side of your Desktop screen,
it should "appear" on the N800 screen. I think mouse cursor is actually
disabled in the N800 X server, so you need e.g. to have Notes open and
type something on your keyboard to see whether it worked or not.
