Hi John,

I was thinking along the lines of a VNC server. (I was able to port the
"libvncserver" library without any code changes, but since I'm still
working on the application half, I don't know how well it works yet.)
That's great to know! The integration of VNC is not on our radar yet.
But I can see how nicely it would complement the scenario. If the VNC
server provides a framebuffer and input service, we could easily combine
it with a dedicated instance of nitpicker+wm - each of those hosted as
subsystems within Sculpt's runtime. Then arbitrary interactive
applications could be routed to this GUI stack and thereby become
remotely accessible. That would rock! :-)
I hadn't thought of that angle, but that would be powerful!
The library does most of the hard work, so all the custom code has to do
is provide a framebuffer and handle input events.
For the initial iteration, I am trying to attach to the main
framebuffer, but once that is working, it should be trivial to set it up
as you describe.
Thanks!
