So that basically means I'll install lxde or xfce for > remote desktop needs. e doesnt need any hardware for compositing. dont confuse compositing with hardware accel. e supports a software cmpositing path that needs zero accel - it works in the dumb fb xephyr "x in a window" just fine. i know nx itself just doesnt support the composite extension at all - that is the problem. nothing to do with accel. i run e in software compositing on an ancient 600mhz pentium-m laptop at 600mhz. 1024x768 and an ancient intel gfx chip that isnt good enough to do gl for evas. i use software compositing in xephyr. i use it inside qemu where the virtual gpu is some ancient cirrus gfx chip with no 3d gpu. it works. works really great actually. it just is that nx doesn't support the composite (and damage and xfixes extensions) that have been around now for 10+ years. > Brgds > > > On Sun, Aug 24, 2014 at 1:16 PM, Carsten Haitzler <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > On Sun, 24 Aug 2014 12:42:49 +0200 Rogier Eggers <[email protected]> > > said: > > > > > Hello All, > > > > > > Recently I upgraded to enlightenment 0.18.3 on Ubuntu.
