I experimented a bit with this. This is probably off-topic -- but I would mention that even though latency for VNC is better than what it used to be, I still found X11 to be a faster solution when I don't really need the whole desktop and just need to display one app remotely. If I always have focus on one app in VNC, the latency is comparable to X11 -- but that amounts to using VNC as an overkill anyway. > Meanwhile, I'll try building FLTK with X11 -- got some help from some > old postings to this list. > I was able to do this with fltk 1.1.4 with John Galeotti's help -- thanks to everyone who replied.
