In that case the load on the processor for displaying AXIS is important. That why my idea was to move this burden od x11 server to another "machine" that is better prepared for this job. The problem with RPI is that the real time kernel modules are not implemented and the access to GPIO in not fast enough for Linux CNC . This infos I got from the net maybe I am wrong.
