I've just discovered Zapek's excellent ZVNC client, which allows mouse/keyboard sharing without the overhead of streaming display data to the client.
Unfortunately, it seems that the trackpad on the Powerbook behaves differently from an ordinary mouse: when using trackpad, mouse cursor movements are not transmitted to the server (the pointer stays in the same fixed position), although mouse button-presses and keyboard events are still transmitted.
If I use a USB mouse on the Powerbook, all works as expected.
Has anyone found a workaround for this (aside from using a USB mouse connected to the powerbook)?
