CC'ing the TigerVNC lists, since this may also interest some of those users/developers.
I believe that the latest pre-release of VirtualGL (http://virtualgl.sourceforge.net/vgl.nightly/) should (with emphasis on "should") allow you to run compiz or other 3D WM's with hardware acceleration. Currently, I have only tested this with TigerVNC, because TurboVNC lacks the X Composite extension (this has been identified as a hot project for the next release.) I've also only tested it with Gnome under RHEL 5 and 6. Feedback from users of other platforms is most appreciated. To make it work with TigerVNC, I logged into the server locally, enabled desktop effects in Gnome, then logged out. I then edited ~/.vnc/xstartup, adding "vglrun +wm" in front of the two lines that contain /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, and the next time I started TigerVNC, desktop effects were enabled in the VNC session. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Tigervnc-devel mailing list Tigervnc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tigervnc-devel
