Sounds interesting. Eventually, we should have some
guest OS specific video drivers for each major OS to
run in plex86/bochs. They could pass info to the
"outside" world (host OS) in a manner more
efficient for displaying using the host GUI. Perhaps
also more efficient for channeling via VNC.
Could you give a quick overview of the mechanisms involved
in your bochs-rfb project?
