See my previous post: "Jeff Waugh talk about thin client" (copy= below).
Because the rendering is done by the graphical card (on the thin client)= , 3D desktop use less CPU and less bandwith than classical 2D Desktop. We can also expect a gain in network consumption by using SVG (for icons= , etc.) and openGL : 1. you transform the SVG into GL on the thin client. 2. "Even better than that, you turn it into a GL macro and you send= the object and everything as a macro over to the server. Then when you've = got a GL macro that's processed in hardware, you can tweak that. Rather tha= n say, "re-render this, re-render that" and so on, you can say, &= quot;Take this macro over there that I've already uploaded and scale it up = by 50%." And because most of it is already in the hardware, you're sen= ding this tiny little command and it knows exactly what to do." (Jeff = Waugh talking) I will try to use AIGLX this or next week. But we can't already have all= the benefits (see the interview of Jeff Waugh) -------------------------------------------------------- [Ltsp-discuss] Jeff Waugh talk about thin client (Xavier Brochard, Fri Feb 11:15:56 2007) I've just read an interesting interview of Jeff Waugh on Linux Format.= p> "We can actually improve network rendering using GL. Imagine a tiny= little thin client with beautiful Intel graphics chip etc and doing full hardware-accelerated stuff over the network, using less bandwidth than y= ou did before." You can read it here http://linuxformat.co.uk/waugh.html search for "Guadec", for the stuff about thin client ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Le lundi 12 février 2007 20:58, sokol a écrit : > Hello, > > I have a little question after unfruitful googling. > Someone has managed to run a 3d desktop (like > Mandriva 2007) on a thin client?
