vrdp with tablet pc

Post by silverhawk_184 »

Hello,
I have been a long time Virtualbox user, first time poster;

I just bought a tablet (slate) WinCE pc with a 10" resistive touch screen. I can connect to virtualbox with vrdp and it looks great, and the response times are great, but I have one issue. With the touchscreen, I have to touch twice to click (once to move the mouse to the desired location, again to click) or hold it for like a second. This makes double clicking impossible. Although, I can use the hard navigation buttons just fine. Using the Microsoft's RDP on the guest works perfect, so I am believed to it bieng virtualbox.

I am hoping to use the tablet for interacting with MS PowerPoint that is being displayed fullscreen on a projector simultaneously. It doesn't matter if mouse integration is enabled or not.

I have:
Host: win7
--CPU: 2.3ghz Core 2 Duo (dual core)
--Memory: 4 Gb (3Gb avail)
Network: Host - ethernet - wireless router - wifi (802.11g w/ excellent signal) - tablet
Guest: Win XP Pro Sp 2 (will try tablet edition as soon as i can find my cd)
--VB version: 2.2.3; additions: installed
--mouse integration: on and off
tablet: viewsonic v210 WinCE 4.2
--RDC v5.1 settings:
----Display: 256 color (lowered to see if it would help, didnt)
----Local resources: Sound: leave at remote; local dev: none checked
----Experience: Performance: Custom (none clicked, to test, didnt help)

edit: i just tried it with version 3 beta1 with the same result, going to post in the beta thread as well.
