Is it possible to get 3D acceleration for Displaylink devices sa it is done for Windows? Displaylink devices (USB display devices) does not have hardware powerful enough to accelerate 3D but still it is able to provide 3D graphics and composition in Windows. The windows Displaylink driver uses

I have recently started running x11vnc on an Xrfb server. This pretty much seems to solve my problems I had with Xvnc. Xvnc did not support render. It appears xrfb does and that konqueror runs fine on Xrfb, it would not run on Xvnc. So now I just run Xrfb and then x11vnc on that, and that gives me

rootless operation is a big advantage in certain cases. But you are right, it does not forward any vector graphics data, such as GLX commands, which probably are somewhat faster than rasterised data. Currently, i am using xpra and x11vnc on Xvfb. When you use x11vnc on Xvfb, it seems to work much

I meant to say, xvfb. not xrfb. The xvfb and x11vnc combo works great and is better than Xvnc. So far it has fixed my problems with not being able to use konqueror on VNC. On Sat, May 28, 2011 at 8:35 AM, David Jackson djackson...@gmail.comwrote: I have recently started running x11vnc on an

I think the underlying framework is already there. You can create a GEM surface for the 3D card to render into which doesn't need to be a display surface, then you need to get it onto the USB graphics device. Alan ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org
