using opensuse12.3, xdm, xdmcp, icewm works well with Windows' Xming over ethernet. But too slow via Internet/VPN.
Xming was the one I was thinking of. I used it at work a couple of years ago with openSUSE 11.4.
Cygwin's X worked with XDMCP and supported Remote OpenGL over GLX. The article about wayland being incapable of working over X because it only shipped bits shows how much he knew about X. X does use local fonts (or remote with a font server), it does a bunch of things including 3D accel, when it works, but when it's broken those things don't work so well. You can't tell me a browser over the internet is capable of using download- able fonts while and X server is to slow because of that... huh? Unfortunately Cygwin just switched to 64-bit, so many thing that used to work well don't work as well yet on 64-bit. It's looking like OpenGL may still need some work on 64bit -- but cygwin opens more access to the HW than you normally see on windows -- including the registry in /prog/registry (R/O at this point still)... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
