Introduction

Abiquo uses TightVNC to provide user connections to virtual machines through the eye icon.

By default, you can configure TightVNC for Abiquo in the file:

/opt/abiquo/tomcat/webapps/client-premium/tightvnc/tightvnc.html

Recommended Settings

appletCode += "<param name=\"Scaling factor\" value=\"90\">;
appletCode += "<param name=\"Open new window\" value=\"Yes\">";
inputtype='tablet' bus='usb'

International Keyboards and Apple Macintosh

When using international keyboards or Apple Macintosh computers, change the value of the ConvertToASCII parameter to "no", as shown here.

appletCode += "<param name=\"ConvertToASCII\" value=\"no\">";

Mouse Pointer Accuracy

  • The default inputtype is mouse and PS2.  This provides the most widely compatible pointing device.
  • The most accurate inputtype is tablet and USB. 
  • When testing VNC, do the following tests for every operating system:
    • movement
    • three mouse buttons
    • scroll wheel
