Hi,
Following the notes taken on the remote display session:
- Qt5 has webgl and vnc
- Use-case duplicate displays
○ One local
○ One remote
- TQtC Hackathon project
○ Stream the scene graph to another machine
- Multi seat is problematic
○ Affect all current solutions
○ However, part of Wayland protocol
- Option: Being able to have multiple QPA backends at the same time
- use-cases
○ Remote mirror
○ Multiple displays
○ Virtual Keyboard and physical keyboard at the same time
○ …
○ Need to stay focused
- Current understanding is that this is not 6.0 content
○ WebGL etc might not be ready within timeframe
- "Multiplexing QPA" does help to shift any work beyond 6.0 and stay
compatible with current API
- Again, multiple inputs should be handled via wayland
○ Moved details to be discussed to wayland session
- Proposal is to fix this based on specific project and not try to aim
at an swiss army knife right from the beginning
- While it is not part of current 6.0 plans, we should try to get the
basics available
○ Enable multiple inputs (keyboards, cursors, …)
- Where to draw a line?
○ Multiple cursors displayed?...
- Anything else but wayland?
○ X11 tried this, but never got around to have something to be
used
○ Are there any other options? No one knows…
- Proposal Paul:
○ QPA API as a start
○ Then merges events to the application
- Action Points:
○ How and who drives multi seat?
○ Need to get started with a pilot project based on Wayland
○ Multiplex solution seems most viable
○ Get user story in JIRA
