 ## What is already possible (or in better terms discovered)
 
 Before I start of listing everything that is discovered, I want to make clear that this is currently a 2 man project and we're doing our best to do as much as possible in the time we've got available. A lot of things are still in progress but every day new things get discovered. There is a lot to look at and not everything can be done at the same time. we'll try to prioritise but roadblocks will be hit.

+Since we've figured out how to cross-compile our own binaries, we were able to compile a VNC solution for the Quad Cortex.
+
+The VNC server we compiled is based on [this project](https://github.com/ponty/framebuffer-vncserver). We had to modify the source code a bit to make it work with the touchscreen. But besides that, it is identical. This patch was necesarry because the touchscreen doesn't report it's width and height in a propper way.
+
+*[Installer and auto-run on boot will be added later]*
+
+*For now you can use it the manual way*
+
+## Installation
+
+In the `External VNC` folder you will find the files `qc_vnc` and `libvncserver.so.1`. Move these to the following locations on the QC:
+
+- **qc_vnc:** `/bin`
 
+- **libvncserver.so.1**: `/lib`
 
+That's it. You can now start the server!
+
+## Usage
+
+```console
+qc_vnc -f /dev/fb0 -t /dev/input/event0
+```
