Yes, as Daniel says, with SSH. Detailed analysis is available here: http://keithp.com/~keithp/talks/usenix2003/ While I do not doubt that something better than SSH could be done, the results there show that with current applications/toolkits, SSH does better than LBX in just about all ways. And Xcb may provide yet better latency hiding mechanisms; working in toolkits to support it may be/probably is a better use of effort than an X specific specialized compressor. > > > the second one says "xproxymngproto is no longer supported" due to > > certain libraries having been deleted from xorg (presumably lbx). that > > implies that the xrx project, the only way of embedding unix > > applications into web browsers, is, by inference, "no longer > > supported". > > Yes. Please go right ahead and figure out the dependency you need. More maintainers and developers are always welcome. - Jim -- Jim Gettys <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
