It is not usable, it lets someone connect without authenticating and then takes screen captures every second to send them as RemoteFX. That's as far as I went writing it so far. Ideally, I'd have invalid region detection with xdamage, and support for mouse and keyboard input. That's what I want to have for a school project I'm doing where I want to remotely control the current session. Now what would be great in the future is having server-side authentication and support for multiple sessions like xrdp. If anyone is interested in working on that, you are more than welcome. > > Cheers, > > Denis > -- > Denis Cardon > Tranquil IT Systems > 44 bvd des pas enchantés > 44230 Saint Sébastien sur Loire > tel : +33 (0) 2.40.97.57.57 > http://www.tranquil-it-systems.fr > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > 10 Tips for Better Server Consolidation > Server virtualization is being driven by many needs. > But none more important than the need to reduce IT complexity > while improving strategic productivity.
