Windows Xp on a Nokia N800

Well, sort of 
This hack includes virtual display driver from ZoneOS called ZoneScreen and a VNC server for windows. For testing I used RealVNC. The Idea is, that you create a virtual screen in windows that shows up in Display settings as a normal screen. So you can drag programs and use it as a secondary monitor. Then VNC is used to connect N800 to it via vnc-viewer application from garage.
The reason to try this, is that I’ve been wondering would it be possible to create sideshow drivers to Vista, that would use N800 as a display device. For some gadget/widget/vimpula love.
Problems with this initial test setup.
- vncviewer goes to screen saving mode
- no 800 x 480 resolution in basic Zonescreen display settings
- RealVNC doesn’t seem to support broadcasting only one screen, so you have to scroll from you main screen to the secondary when you start to use it.
- Scroll-bars present because of the last two.

It is faster and offers more functionality. Only drawback is that it cost $30 but its well worth it.
