Not sure if I understand all this correctly yet (bit of graphics newbie), but I need the mali to actually render what's on the LCD. The screen-sharing over the network is the secondary mission. > > What's the reason for your new backend and do you intend to send it > upstream, if I may ask? Reason would be to go around the problems experienced with the various RDP clients I've tried. RFB seems a bit simpler and a better fit for our needs. But again, this is a graphics-newbie talking. Nothing's decided yet. I would definitely keep it public and hopefully get it upstream. I fear though the the time I am allowed to work on this may not cover all use cases but rather just our specific ones. > > There are various remoting efforts going around, mostly in the > automotive industry. Mmmh. Interesting. All I could summon was Kwin and gnome (mutter). I found Mer project has lipstick (QtWayland based) compositor with lipstick2vnc. But I don't know how functional this is (APIs still exist, frame rate, etc) Can you elaborate which efforts you are talking about and if we could participate?
