Hello Anthony,

thanks for your response.

After trying various ppa's:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bderzhavets/lib-usbredir86/ubuntu quantal main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bderzhavets/lib-usbredir86/ubuntu quantal main

to no avail, I decided to follow you advice, and compile remote-viewer.

my compiled version seem to be working a little better, but
nonetheless, it's still not working:
