That depends. I wasn't aware that compiz actually worked properly with VirtualGL yet, but I could be behind the curve on that. I've never personally been able to bring it up with all of the 3D stuff enabled. Further, if remote delivery of the images is not necessary, then VirtualGL may not be what you want. It's hard to say without knowing more about what you're trying to do. VirtualGL is certainly not intended as a session capture program. There are much better ways to do that. > If the answer is yes, I assume I will need to write my own transport. Is > there > any developer documentation? Chapter 11 is not very elaborate. rrtransport.h (which is shipped in /usr/include if you are using our binary packages) provides detailed API documentation. You could probably just modify testplugin2.cpp and add a separate thread that saves the images to disk rather than displaying them. I echo Arthur's comment, however, that VirtualGL may or may not be the best solution for this. We really need more information about what you're trying to do, what format you need to output, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
