Thanks! you are welcome. it's handy to be able to start an X session, work on it a bit locally, and then go someplace else, ssh in to the first machine (with -L 5901 localhost:5901) and connect to the same X session and continue to work, this time remotely. -- Best Regards.

Hi Tony, Thanks for the suggestions. Have you actually tried either of these? I could not figure out how to use VNC on a localhost (do you have an example?) and I tried Xnest, it took over the whole thing and I had to hook up a keyboard, go to a konsole and kill the process. In fact, the interface on Ubuntu-Mobile is very confusing to me, I can't open multiple documents at the same time, I can't switch between windows etc. Is there a particular logic to this? --- http://www.stwing.upenn.edu/~durduran > > On Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 1:52 PM, Turgut Durduran wrote: > > I would love to be able to use Rosetta Stone on my Samsung Q1 Ultra.

Re: Ubuntu-Mobile and large windows?
If you run it through VNC, VNC will give you a virtual memory-based GUI that can be smaller than the display, with scrollbars. Other tools that might do that too... xnest - Nested X server xserver-xephyr - nested X server I'd use VNC myself, since I have experience with it.

Ubuntu-Mobile and large windows?
I would love to be able to use Rosetta Stone on my Samsung Q1 Ultra. I installed with wine and it installs and runs fine. Except things do not fit on the screen and I can't ever quit the program, or click on several of the menus. I assume there is either a way to scroll up/down/left/right or configure "wine" so that everything becomes smaller. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!
