I sure hope it is. I typically run X clients on a variety of machines close and far. It's one of the reasons I like (and depend on) X. At the moment I have windows open on six different machines: the local workstation, one on a LAN, four over a VPN to a data center. Three of the latter display at least in part by transferring pixmap data. Network round-trip latency to the data center is about 20-23 ms at the moment. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
