Hi all, is it possible to write an xfree86 graphics driver that has similar functionality as Xvfb? (i.e. doesn't care/require graphics hw on the machine). I'm playing with writing a thin client (like vnc) that's transparent to X apps, and even though i could hack Xvfb to do what i want, it seems to me that a graphics driver would be a much nicer approach. I've been looking through the drivers code and playing with it and it seems like there's no straighforward/clean way to tell X: "i don't care about the hw, just trust me, i can display anything". The cleanest way seems to be to tell X that I'm a generic vga driver and can support any hw, so is this the only way to go? any problems that could arise from this?
