Yes. > 2. This works: waypipe ssh -X owner@172.28.0.179 glxgears, is X11 is being > proxied via waypipe? No. Waypipe is only involved with Wayland clients, not with X clients. The latter are handled by SSH's own X forwarding (which works similarly to Waypipe, they're independent though). > Can you advise please, is there an advantage/performance benefit to running > older X11/GL applications this way compared to simply running: ssh -X > owner@172.28.0.179? It makes no difference whatsoever, since Waypipe isn't involved in any way with X clients. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | https://redhat.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and Xwayland developer
